Wells Funeral Services Gave My Father the Farewell He Deserved. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Wells Funeral Services for the exceptional care, professionalism, and compassion they showed during the repatriation and burial of my late father, Andrew Lancelot Statham. Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with the practicalities on top of the grief can feel overwhelming. From the very first moment, Rod Major and his team took all of that weight off our shoulders and gave us the reassurance that everything would be handled with the utmost dignity and respect. I have known Rod for many years and have always admired the respect he holds in the industry as well as the kind of person he is. That respect is well earned. His attention to detail, his ability to think of everything, and his deep understanding of what a family needs at such a difficult time are second to none. Rod personally ensured that the repatriation process was completely smooth. He handled all of the necessary administration, which is a complicated and often stressful task, and kept us informed at every stage. Knowing that my father was in safe hands gave us great peace of mind when we needed it most. On the day of the funeral, Wells Funeral Services delivered something truly memorable and moving. Rod’s son led the hearse by walking in front of it with a cane. This small but powerful gesture gave the procession an extra sense of dignity and solemnity that touched everyone present. It reflected the care and thought that went into every single aspect of the arrangements. Nothing was overlooked, and every detail was carried out to perfection. What stood out most throughout the whole process was the combination of professionalism and humanity. At no point did it feel transactional. Rod and his team genuinely cared about us, about my father, and about ensuring the day reflected the respect and love we had for him. Their guidance, sensitivity, and patience helped us through one of the hardest moments of our lives. I cannot recommend Wells Funeral Services highly enough. They are not just a funeral company, they are people who truly understand the importance of what they do and the lasting comfort it can bring to a grieving family. For anyone facing the difficult task of arranging a funeral or repatriation, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to place your trust in them. They gave my father the farewell he deserved and gave us, his family, the gift of peace in knowing everything was handled with dignity, compassion, and excellence.
