At AJ Wakely & Sons, we know that choosing a funeral director is one of the most important decisions a family can make after the loss of a loved one. During such an emotional and difficult time, having compassionate and experienced professionals by your side can make all the difference.
That is why we are proud to be members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), the UK’s leading funeral trade association dedicated to promoting the highest standards of care and professionalism within the funeral profession.
What Does Being an NAFD Member Mean?
As an NAFD Funeral Home Member, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in every aspect of our service. Membership is not simply a badge; it reflects our dedication to providing families with trusted support, guidance, and care when they need it most.
NAFD member funeral homes are regularly inspected and must adhere to a strict Funeral Director Code. This helps ensure families receive professional, respectful, and compassionate care at every stage of the funeral arrangements.
Supporting Families Every Step of the Way
At AJ Wakely & Sons, we believe that a funeral director’s role goes far beyond organising a funeral service. We are here to support families through the days and weeks following a bereavement, offering as much guidance and reassurance as needed.
As part of our commitment as an NAFD member, families can expect us to:

Reassurance and Peace of Mind
Choosing an NAFD member funeral home also gives families additional reassurance. If concerns were ever raised about the service provided, the NAFD offers an independent complaints service, helping ensure all matters are handled fairly and professionally.
We believe transparency, trust, and accountability are incredibly important when supporting families through bereavement.
Choosing the Right Funeral Director
Every family is different, and every farewell should reflect the wishes and values of the person being remembered. We always encourage families to take their time when choosing a funeral director and to ask any questions they may have.
At AJ Wakely & Sons, we are honoured to support families across our local communities with compassionate care, professional guidance, and personal service. Our membership with the NAFD reflects our ongoing commitment to providing the highest standards of funeral care and support for every family we serve.
