Would very much like to thank the staff at John Weir particularly Theresa and the staff who attended the crematorium. I thankfully had already set up a funeral package at John Weir’s a year ago prior to my mother’s passing, which helped enormously in respect of the situation with the Coronavirus. Theresa made sure everything was organised and that we were happy with all the arrangements. Her suggestion of a large screen photo and live streaming of the service really helped on the day for relatives who were unable to attend. Under the circumstances the funeral could not have gone better.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you arrange a funeral?
You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.
Read moreWhat are disbursements?
Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.
Read moreHow can I get help with funeral costs?
If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
