Meet our friendly team

WELLS Funeral Services is truly independent and locally owned. As long-established residents in the local community we recognise the importance of the reputation we have built, and our service to our clients is our greatest asset.

Our business is managed by a small hands-on team who are on call 24 hours a day. We take time to get to know the families we work with, providing them with all the help and support they need.

We appreciate that people like to know a little about who they will be dealing with so let us introduce you to some of the team.

“It has been so refreshing to deal with a business that listens to its customers and delivers a personalised service above and beyond expectations. I have unfortunately had to arrange 3 funerals in the last decade and Rod and the team have been head and shoulders above what I have experienced before. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Wells Funeral Services.”

Rod has a first-class record in delivering funerals in a way that ensures his client is happy and with no stress, just a safe, professional approach. His aim is to ensure the clients get good value for money, affordable funerals for all.

“I would like to say how professional Rod and his team are. From our initial meeting through to the Funeral Service, every process was made as easy as possible. What could have been a very stressful experience was made less so by the way Rod and the Celebrant, Nicky paved the way for myself and my family. I would highly recommend Wells Funeral Services.” - Liz www.wellsfuneralservices.co.uk

Blake is the son of Rod Major and is relatively new to the business. He moved down to Somerset from Scotland where he had been living with family and working in farming.

At 21, Blake is the youngest member of the team. He works with his father on a part-time basis

Nicky has been working alongside Rod since 2016 and between them they make sure clients receive exactly what they wish to achieve from the funeral they are planning. A good funeral ceremony should be as unique as the person who has died and paint a picture of their lives, it should appeal to the heart, the head and the senses.

Nicky feels very privileged to work with families to create a fitting tribute and goodbye ceremony for their family member or friend.
