Paula Wickenden 28th May 2021

I would like to say a particular thank you to Deana and the gentleman who looked me at Nigel’s funeral. Both were caring, sympathetic and considerate. Thank you so much for making a extremely difficult event much easier. 

Stephen Richard Berry 17th May 2021

Everything was dealt with very smoothly and efficiently. Great attention was paid to little details and this made the funeral a very successful occasion. There were many favourable comments from those who attended. Thanks to Sharon, Shane and Bridget for making our day very special.

    This was the second time we have used John Weirs. Sharon and her team were every thing you need at this time of sadness. Very helpful and understanding from start to finish, nothing was to much trouble. Everything up to and on the day went smoothly and I cant thank them enough.

    This service is amazing and can reach friends and relatives who are far away more able to leave messages and donations.

  • 5 Carol Boorman 26th Apr 2021

    The compassion, personal but professional approach shown by John Weir and his team, at an extremely difficult time,cannot be overstated. From the first point of contact to the conclusion, following the funeral, support was there for me and my family every step of the way. Our sincerest thanks to an excellent team.

  • 5 Sue Nourse 5th Apr 2021

    Staff are outstanding, nothing too much trouble. Kind and understanding totally professional.

  • 5 Amanda James 5th Apr 2021

    Professional, caring and helpful 

  • 5 Andrew Loos 22nd Mar 2021

    My phone call to John Weir’s, on the day of my wife’s passing, was answered in a very understanding and prompt way.
    From the outset and throughout the planning stage of the funeral, my children and I were advised, guided and supported by Kelly for whom nothing was too much trouble. The choice of church and the minister was largely due to her efforts and proved to be such a wise choice for us. To sum it up, she did my wife and my children’s Mum proud.
    As a result of our family’s experience at the Rainham branch, I would have no hesitation in recommending John Weir’s. In my opinion, they are funeral directors second to none.

  • 5 Anne-Marie Whiting 22nd Mar 2021

    John Weir leads a thoughtful and considerate team. Nothing is a problem and their attention to detail is outstanding.The enourmously dignifed, respectful and almost military way of caring for the deceased during transportaton and the crematorium was absolutley what my father would have wanted and expected.
    There is no question that John Weir employs staff that truly care for those lost and their families. In the darkest of days they will take your hand and guide you.

  • 5 Anthea Gordon 22nd Mar 2021

    Friends and family have all commented how lovely the service was, how you all showed your love, respect and care for dad which we could not have asked for more.

    John Weir was recommended through a colleague at work and I could not have been more grateful for giving my dad the best day and what he deserved.

  • 5 Garry Russell 21st Mar 2021

    This was a first for me organising my Dad's funeral, but the help and guidance I received from Anna at the Rainham branch was second to none. Her professionalism and experience was very evident and I'm so glad she was there for me, excellent service - well done

  • 5 Christopher Finan 15th Mar 2021
