About Us

About Wakefield Funeral Services

Wakefield Funeral Services was established in 1968. We recognise how important it is to be at the heart of our local Wakefield, West Yorkshire community.

The team at our Wakefield funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one.

Here at Wakefield Funeral Services we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

Provided an excellent service for the bereavement of my late sister, all staff were helpful and attentive. This review would have been five stars but the part time opening of the Wakefield branch dropped the rating. Would highly recommend this independent funeral service.

Joan Wain

Funeral Arranger

Joan joined Wakefield Funeral Services in 2007 but has been working in the industry since 1992 having previously worked for Co-Operative Funeral Care.
Joan takes great pride in her work and particularly likes being able to help people when they are feeling unable to cope with their loss, patiently listening to what they would like for their loved ones funeral and taking away as much stress as possible.
Joan regularly helps to raise money for local causes and one in particular that stands out for her is a charity called Levi’s Star that helps families financially when they have a child diagnosed with cancer.
She also raises money by crocheting poppies for the Royal British Legion and making hats for premature babies.
