Testimonials

"Hi Matt - thank you and everyone who attended and helped in preparation for and at the funeral yesterday for my father. We were all very appreciative of the kindness and consideration shown by everyone from Wakely's, which helped make such a sad occasion feel very personal and full of fellowship.

I was particularly pleased that my father's coffin was carried rather than moved about on a trolley, which happens so often these days. It is far from easy to do, however it was absolutely the right approach for a very traditional service and burial.

I was also appreciative of the quality of the paper and the printing used for the service sheet. It was excellent.

My mother was so relieved that the service she planned all came together so well on the day. "

"Dear Matt,

I wanted to write formally to thank you, and through you, all the staff at Wakely’s for your help, support and guidance during the past few weeks since my mother’s death. As I am sure you are only too aware it is a sad and confusing time for any family grieving for a loved one while making important decisions for their funeral needs. All I can say is that we are so pleased we asked Wakely’s to help us.

My sisters and I knew instantly we had made the right choice following your visit Matt to our mother’s house. We appreciated the sympathy and patience you showed us and valued your experience and advice. With your help we navigated that difficult patch and were delighted with the professionalism of your team both at the funeral and the next day at the Crematorium. Thank you again for all your help."

"Dear Matt,

I know we have thanked you in person but left the need to put in writing how grateful myself, Martin & Dawn are for the exceptional help and kindness during the sad months following the death of Phil, our beloved husband and father. So many burdens were taken off our shoulders, allowing us time to grieve as a family.

Everyone we came in contact with at Wakely’s were thoughtful yet very professional and for that we are also very thankful. Sending you our highest regards. Love Maureen"

Funeral in Yeovil

"Dear Frank,

Myself, Emily & George thank you for caring for us so graciously after Mervyn died. You came into peoples' lives at their worst possible time but you showed such a caring nature, listened to what we wished to have for Mervyn's unique burial and made that happen. You, along with the Pall Bearers made the day the 'best, worst day of our lives' by the way you professionally, but discreetly blended into the 'theme' of the day. I feel you went above and beyond your normal working practise for which I will be eternally grateful for.

You are a wonderful team and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With all my love Sarah"
