Anna and the team at John Weir (Chatham office) have been first rate since the first meeting we had on the death of our mother. Kind and attentive, the whole experience was made so much easier by the team. The service itself went off seamlessly, with the team on the day providing so much respect and dignity to the proceedings. Thank you to the team at John Weir!
