"Although this is a little late, my sister and I want to thank everyone who was involved in the funeral of our mother on 13 November. The arrangements for the funeral went very smoothly and all those attending commented on how well it had gone. We especially want to thank Matt Paterson who did a superb job of interpreting both our mothers' wishes and those of the family, and led a very moving and dignified funeral. Our thank also go to the pallbearers and those behind the scenes for their contribution. The effectiveness of the arrangements went a long way to making a sad occasion more bearable."

Maggie
"Firstly I would like to start by thanking you all for everything over the last 4 weeks and for looking after our father in his final place of rest. There's too much to list but your support and care throughout this ordeal has been phenomenal, with no ask being too big. The funeral on Friday was heart breaking, however, it was above and beyond anything we could have imagined - all thanks to you. You took care of every detail and he would have been so so proud. I also need to say a massive thank you to Claire. Her support to me personally is something she didn't do because it's her job, she's a wonderful caring woman and she will never know what a big support to me she has been. She held my hand and sat with me when I cried but never rushed me or made me feel a nuisance. So a big thank you to her, she's amazing. For obvious reasons his funeral is a day we will never forget, but we will also remember it for all the special touches that you provided. It was the perfect goodbye to our father and was everything he deserved."
Lynn
"We would like to thank you for all the smooth running of the funeral. In particular Matt for his professionalism and compassion. Also the lady for her help in sorting out the photographs for the service sheet. Everything was perfect and we would like to express our gratitude for all your help and advice which was much appreciated at a very difficult time."

"I wanted to write and tell you how much we appreciate how you managed John's funeral. You and your staff were excellent, very caring and understanding.
In this world, we are quick to complain but often don’t give positive feedback. Please pass on my appreciation. I would certainly recommend you.
With thanks."

Paul Snook
"I went to 3 different funeral directors before deciding, I really could not have chosen any better from the very first moment I went inside there doors the receptionist was very kind and caring. Frank was who arranged everything for my husbands Funeral so caring and compassionate nothing was to much. They are extremely professional in what they do. I was able to take all the time I wanted from the time they arrived at my home to leaving the crematorium . They are definitely the people I want to do my Funeral when the time comes. I hope they read these reviews because they really are the best in Yeovil and Thankyou so much. "

Tristan Vickers
"My name is Deborah Taylor and I came over from Spain to attend my mother's funeral Dorothy Chorley who passed away 11th December. A.J.Wakely & Sons were amazing. I would very much like to thank Brian for being there for me to visit my mum in the Chapel of rest and was so consoling towards myself, my son and daughter. Brian drove the Hearse for my mum and as soon as he saw me he came over asking if everything was okay. Even when everything was over he came over to give me his condolences. So a very big thank you to you Brian for being such a wonderful and caring soul. Nothing was too much for you."
