    John Weir you actually knew my mum she worked in the florist opposite you called Ascot, you would actually ask for my mum to come in and do the flower arrangements in the parlour.

    I must say I had a good experience. with your staff, Sharon looked after us from day one to the last day of mum’s funeral on the 20th of November everyone went above and beyond  for my family.
    Specially like to mention Kevin Newell I requested for him to do the day as we all grew up together so this had a meaning of mums last journey.
    From day one to the last day the team were absolutely amazing I cannot fault the service in any way. The Team helped to make  it a very memorable day.
    Thank you Team Weir x

    To Julia who was so friendly and explained the whole process and kept in touch as we went along .

Thank you to the drivers on the day and especially the conductor - I think Kevin but am not sure.  He was very courteous  and warm and treated us all so respectively.
    All in all at a difficult time - John Weir provided a very professional but also personal service. Thank you .

  • 5 John Wills 29th Oct 2024

    From the very first phone call to John Weir Funeral Directors, I was treated with respect and compassion.
    Julia listened to everything I requested and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. This brought to fruition exactly what I wanted for my mother. She left nothing to chance or misinterpretation and went over everything each step of the way to ensure the service provided met all my expectations.
    In death, my Mum was treated with dignity and respect and I am so grateful to Julia for making Mum look so peaceful and serene.
    The celebrant that Julia selected was so personable and absolutely perfect for Mum’s service, talking about her as though she knew her.
    The drivers/pall-bearers were so kind and made everyone feel comfortable and unrushed.
    The music, photographs and video were perfectly timed and everything ran like a production on the day.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending John Weir Funeral Directors.
    All the staff were fantastic and a very special thank you to Julia.
