"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 their doors the receptionist was very kind and caring. They are extremely professional in what they do."

"A massive thank you to all the staff at Wakely & Sons, with special thanks to Frank, Tracie the celebrant and Laura on reception. They were all so kind, caring and professional from start to finish. They helped make the most difficult day for myself and my family just that little bit more bearable."

— Rose Burgess (about Frank, Laura)

"Frank was who arranged everything for my husband's funeral — so caring and compassionate, nothing was too much. 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. They really are the best in Yeovil."

"My wife died on the 24/07/2025, with a very short diagnosis of 1 month. I was dealt with by such a caring Funeral Directors — so calming in such a traumatic time. The thoughts are so daunting but with their expertise being dealt with so professionally and with kindness was unsurpassed. Sorry a bit late putting my comments on but still trying to come to terms with the loss of my wife — 48 years married."

"Matt, Laura, and Naomi, you were phenomenal. We had the most dignified service from you all at Wakley's, ringing the office, nothing was ever too much trouble. Matt even met me at the Sherborne office to discuss final arrangements, as it was convenient for me. On the day of the funeral, the care and consideration shown to us all were above and beyond. We will never be able to thank you all enough for everything you did."

— Alison Mattravers (about Matt, Laura, Naomi)

"Enter Frank from Wakeley's. We had a home meeting at which he went through all we would need to know. He asked us about our wishes and answered all our questions. He is quiet, very pleasant and professional. We were put at ease immediately. We literally did nothing but say what we wanted. Frank put it all together and followed everything we asked for. On the day, he was quietly in charge and everything went like clockwork. Frank, you made a very sad occasion a tasteful and slick operation. Thank you so much."
