We're most grateful for the sincere and professional assistance provided by the staff of John Weir Funeral directors in arranging the service of my fathers funeral last week.   Obviously an emotional day for us all but my dad would have been happy with the service arranged for him. Once again thank you from us all......

Jonathan Shields 26th Sep 2016

We were impressed with the friendly efficiency of the staff at John Weir, from the time we had our first meeting up to the day of the funeral. They were reassuring and removed any worries we might have had at such a difficult time.
