Customised Funeral Services To Honour Your Loved One
Our traditional bespoke funeral service at A J Wakely & Sons, starting from £2,530, is thoughtfully designed to give families the time, space, and freedom to create a farewell that truly reflects the life, values, and personality of their loved one, supporting families. We recognise how important it is for every detail to feel right, which is why we provide gentle, professional guidance throughout the entire process, including liaising with third parties, coordinating personal tributes, and managing charitable donations with sensitivity and care. Your loved one will be looked after with the utmost respect, with preparation carried out thoughtfully and access to our chapel of rest available upon request, allowing families private moments of reflection if they wish.
The service includes the use of a hearse and the support of dedicated, experienced personnel, ensuring the funeral is conducted with dignity, calm, and professionalism from beginning to end. Our compassionate team is available 24 hours a day to offer reassurance, answer questions, and provide support whenever it is needed, so you never feel alone during this difficult time.

Amazing team who made the death of my father a lot easier to deal with a special mention to Chris Legg who helped us all the way, he dealt with all our needs so professionally. I honestly couldn’t think of a better company to get in touch with at the death of a loved one. Perfect!

The whole process of our mum’s care following her death was overseen in a compassionate and professional manner and everything ran to plan at her small family funeral. We dealt directly with Chris and despite it being a sad time, we didn’t have to worry about anything. We felt it was a very fitting tribute. Thank you.
Funeral Guide
Thank you so much for your efficiency and consideration you displayed whilst organising my fathers funeral and subsequent interment. We cannot fault the way either event was organised and that was largely down to you. We do also appreciate the assistance of other members of Wakely's. We would not hesitate to recommend you to others and thank you greatly for your care
