From the first meeting, Anna at John Weir was incredibly respectful and supportive of me and my family through this difficult process - particularly in such unprecedented times. Mum’s funeral was a lovely and moving event despite the coronavirus situation.

    This will be the fourth time I’ve utilised John Weir and dealt with Deanna on at least 3 of these occasions and can honestly say she was nothing more than extremely professional and met our needs in a very sympathetic manner. Nothing was too much trouble to discuss or arrange on our behalf, which must have been difficult for John Weir as much as us, as we go through these uncertain times.

    John Weir in Rainham Kent, gave me and John's family, a service that was so caring, understanding, and above excellence, even with the very scary virus situation we found ourselves in. We were never short of constant help, advice and instant updates as government guidelines started changing. Kindness was 100%.
    I must also say, the gentlemen who escorted my husband, on his last journey, were so gentle and kind, they were so respectful, with such a calming air about them.
    We couldn't have had better care, and under such a distressing time with losing my husband, and struggling through the added stresses brought about by the virus.
    A heartfelt thank you, John Weir, you couldn't have done more.

  • 5 Kathleen Hazel Allan 24th Mar 2020

    Excellent, efficient, caring service from Deana at John Weir.

  • 5 Carolyn Wallace 17th Mar 2020

    I couldn't fault John Weir in the way they handled my mum's funeral arrangements. Sharon and the team were friendly and respectful and handled everything in a totally professional way. So grateful for all their support and hard work.

  • 5 Samantha Kemsley 17th Mar 2020

    Anna, who arranged my husbands funeral, and the guys on the day, were absolutely brilliant. 
    I have used the Gillingham branch of John Weir before; back in 2011 for my mums funeral and they were excellent then.
    There was no question that we’d use them again for my husband; this time the Rainham branch.
    They were empathetic, amenable and generally just lovely. Their professionalism is second to none.
    Thank you again.

  • 5 Zac Lowdell 16th Mar 2020

  • 5 Linda Anne Elsey 11th Mar 2020

    We would thoroughly recommend John Weir. Thank you again.

  • 5 Clair Vince 8th Mar 2020

    Kind but professional 

    The staff in their office explained everything and didn’t push me to spend more than I wanted

    The guys on the day were smart and friendly, sympathetic without being obsequious

  • 5 Gill Poore 24th Feb 2020

    I cannot praise John Weir and his team (especially Deana) for taking care of everything, after the sad loss of my husband (digger) from start to finish they organised everything, nothing seemed any trouble and kept me informed all the way along. John, himself even phoned the day after, even though he was on his holidays, to ask how it all went and said all the right words. They made a very sad occasion, very bearable with as little stress as possible. Thank you so much x

  • 5 Marion Frost 22nd Feb 2020

    I cannot thank the John Weir staff enough for all their help and if you are lucky enough to get Anna to help you with what is the most stressful time in ones life then you will know that she will help you with everything, nothing I do mean nothing, is too much trouble. 
    In today’s life, we all deal with businesses that lack kindness and support this will not happen if you use the John Weir team.

  • 5 David Elvy 19th Feb 2020

    The funeral went as well as it possibly could and this was due in large part to the professionalism of John Weir staff. All our wishes were adhered to and the communication leading up to the day was excellent. Thanks goes to Anna at the Rainham branch for being so efficient and kind and for all the guys on the day for making it all run smoothly. We have no hesitation in recommending this company, all round excellent service.

  • 5 Meziara Khodabux 18th Feb 2020

    My sister and I were extremely pleased with the service and support we had from everyone at John Weir. Sharon was very helpful and caring in helping us to arrange mum’s funeral & updated us continually. On the day all the drivers were so considerate to us. I must single out Kevin, who also did my dad’s funeral, and was wonderful in his organisation & compassion. Overall a very professional and caring experience.

  • 5 Susan Lynch 20th Jan 2020

    The funeral was very well organised and all the staff who works for Mr Weir were exceptional. Anna Daltrey was so very kind and so well organised that she made Dad's passing so much easier. She went well over the top of what is expected and she is certainly the diamond that works for Mr Weir. Nothing was too much trouble and through her ability for organisation and the little details made our experience so much easier to bear.
