Experiencing the loss of my father, our first intimate family loss, was an incredibly difficult time for us. However, John, the owner of Wakelee Memorial, walked us through every step of the process with unmatched attentiveness and compassion. From the initial planning stages to following up as we await the medical review, he has been consistently available to answer all our questions and provide guidance. The funeral home itself is thoughtfully designed, with high ceilings that create an open, airy feel—far from the stuffy... read more

Losing my father-in-law was one of the hardest experiences of our lives, but John at Wakelee Memorial made us feel truly cared for throughout the entire process.

John was very compassionate and professional. He listened to and enjoyed the stories we shared about our Dad. Made sure we understood the entire process and the charges. The facility was very pretty.

John and his staff are the most compassionate you will find. They make you feel like family the minute you walk through the door. At such a difficult time in your life, they will compassionately care for your family. The best around by far.

My mother passed at home and I was of course upset. John was kind and caring through the entire process. John and Millie were wonderful with helping arrange my mothers services. They help you plan every detail and make sure the process is smooth and easy in your time of grief. I’m very thankful to have chosen Wakelee during this tough time.

John and his staff at Wakelee Memorial Funeral Home are kind, compassionate, and addressed all of our requests for my Father's services. They were able to do this in a very short notice, due to family coming from out of state. They are honest and truly good-hearted people. Thank you.

John and his staff are truly amazing. We have lost 4 of our loved ones over recent years and each time he has gone above and beyond. Our first was in 2011 with my Great Uncle John had help my Great Aunt. When my Great Aunt passed away in her home with family being by her side in 2018, he came in the early hours to help us. When my mother had passed in Yale New Haven hospital in 2019 he was there for my family. And in January 2023, when my father passed away unexpectedly, John and his staff where there within an hour.
