My sister and I cannot rate John Weir highly enough for their caring, kindness and dedication to making our late father’s funeral service go so smoothly and perfectly. They were there for us throughout this very sad time and took great care of our dear Dad and us; always there to help when needed. From Anna and Tim in the office to the team who conveyed Dad and the family to and from the service. Their recommendation of the service celebrant, Sarah, was first class. We have nothing but praise for the whole team and would certainly recommend John Weir.
