All through making the arrangements, Sharron was so kind, helpful and explained everything in a tender way. On the day the funeral directors, guided the family on bearing the coffin. We are all so appreciative with the gentle professional way the whole funeral was handled. Thank you. Jackie Swift

    Sharon of the Rainham office looked after us. I really needed some body to guide me through the process of my Dad's funeral. Even with the current COVID restrictions Sharon was always available by telephone. She was so helpful. On the day Kevin who directed proceedings was highly professional but at the the same time very caring and attentative. John Weir (Rainham) made a painful day just a little less painful.

I would so recommend them for their professionalism and sensitivity to our family. Thank you all at JW

  • 5 Andrew McGowan 15th Aug 2020

    Throughout this difficult time, everyone at John Wier we’re simply lovely. I felt at ease with them when ever we spoke rough through to the service. At the service we had the privilege of having John Weir with us for the service. Because of them all the service was plain sailing and for the best of reasons it was pleasurable to be able to say goodbye to Doris knowing that everything was taken care of, after the service I received a follow up phone call to see if we were all ok. This was a lovely touch and we will be forever grateful for everything that John Weir’s team did for our family
