I would like to thank John Weir and his team for their kindness, support and professionalism. To know that our beautiful loved one was in their hands gave us comfort. We knew from having previous experience with them that she would be treated with respect. Everything was handled beautifully and any requests were met without hesitation. At the most devastating time, all at John Weir made the process feel more manageable. Special thanks to Deana in the office, who was so friendly and helpful from arranging times for us to come to the chapel of rest, to supporting us when we were there. Every member of the team were respectful and supportive on the day of the funeral which made us feel like they were there for us all. The Celebrant showed great empathy and really took the time to listen to us when we were telling her about our loved one. She delivered the service with such compassion.

We have used John Weir funeral directors for all of our family funerals spanning a time period of 30+ years. Their attention to detail is second to none. In the case of my mother's funeral, Deana at the Gillingham office was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and her kindness and compassion made a very difficult time easier to manage. On the day of the funeral, Shane and his team were wonderful. They carried out their duties with a quiet, dignified professionalism helping to make the day of the funeral run as smoothly as possible.

We'd heard good things about John Weir for decades, from when it was owned by the father of the present John Weir. When my dear wife recently died , they were the natural local choice. Deana Worsfold and other staff at the Gillingham, Kent office were consistently helpful, efficient, thoughtful and kind, from start to finish. I'm very pleased we used this firm.
