We meet recognised professional standards, follow codes of practice, and provide families with trusted, ethical, and compassionate care at every stage.
Why Families Choose Direct Cremations
Direct cremations provide a simple, dignified, and respectful option for families who prefer a more personal approach to saying goodbye, without the pressures of traditional funeral arrangements. For many, this choice offers comfort and peace of mind, allowing them to grieve privately while focusing on what truly matters – remembering and celebrating a life well lived.
At A J Wakely & Sons, we understand how important trust and compassion are during such a difficult time, and we are committed to caring for your loved one with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity at every stage. From the careful collection of the deceased to the respectful cremation itself, and the return or scattering of ashes, every detail is handled with quiet dignity and genuine care. By choosing a direct cremation, families can avoid additional costs such as embalming, viewings, or venue hire, making it a more affordable and practical option without compromising on respect.
This flexibility allows families the freedom to arrange a personal memorial or celebration of life at a time and place that feels right for them. Proudly assisting families in Yeovil, Beaminster, Wincanton, and across Dorset, our long-standing reputation is built on compassion, integrity, and high professional standards, ensuring you are never alone during this emotional journey.

A J Wakely provided us with guidance and advice in the early stages (e.g. registration) following our mother's death and always treated us with kindness and respect at a difficult time. The funeral arrangements for our mother proceeded without any glitches.

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.
