Christine White 19th Nov 2021

We found the company very professional from start to finish. We would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff for their support, helpfulness and kindness at such a difficult time. Especially to Deana who we expect went way and beyond her job title. I felt that my mum was treated with very much respect and knowing that she was being well looked after made it a lot easier. Once again thank you from the Hart family

  • 5 Denise Bryant 8th Sep 2021

    We found everyone very kind, caring, and approachable. From when Mum was taken from home through to the day of the funeral, nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 Aimee Penny 6th Sep 2021

    We were so impressed with how professional John Weir dealt with every aspect of our Dads funeral.  

    Kevin arrived smartly dressed and was so professional both on the night that he collected our Dad when he passed and on the day of the funeral, giving us the time and space that we needed.

    Sharon guided us through everything so that we knew all of our options, she also matched us to the perfect lady to take the service, Annie Love.

    We really can not speak more highly of Annie, she was amazing and conducted the service exactly as we had wanted.  

    All on all it was the perfect send off for a perfect man! 

  • 4 Roger Ian Quarrington 5th Sep 2021

    The service and commitment was first class my only comment is we were asked to wait at the main church door when the coffin arrived at the grave yard entrance which meant my mother had to stand for far too long for a woman of her years, but Iam sure this was an oversight and in no way the norm, and I hope a lesson has been learned, perhaps plan your route to the burial plot before the funeral so that the mourners aren't stood around twiderling there thumbs. Nevertheless I would recommend you.

  • 5 Julie Louise Moriarty 1st Sep 2021

    Fantastic service from a great team of people who are sincere, professional, discreet and thoughtful.  I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company to everyone!

  • 5 Richard George Stretch 10th Aug 2021

    The formalities before the day where made more comfortable & bearable by Sharon at the Rainham branch taking us through it step by step & offering advice as required about the services you offered & the crematorium, & what happens on the day & after. On the day everything went well & to schedule & the funeral conductor took us threw the opening committal proceedings. Thank you all for your support & care to me & my family

  • 5 Mark Dyke 10th Aug 2021

    I could not have chosen a more caring, thoughtful and compassionate funeral director. Anna at John Wier is exceptional and kept me updated with all of the arrangements for the funeral as they were made. Nothing was too much trouble and on the day of the funeral, everything ran like clockwork. I cannot thank Anna and the staff at John Wier enough. You took the trauma out of an otherwise emotionally draining experience.

  • 5 Rita Fisher 30th Jul 2021
