Sue Skirth 16th Dec 2019

Unfortunately i have had to use John Weir services twice in the last six months but both times they have provided an excellent sympathetic but ultimately professional service of the highest standard.

Gareth David Kitney 13th Dec 2019

I used John Weir after asking local friends and family for recommendations. John Weir, and specifically my contact, Sharon have been excellent. Telephoning me when I needed to do something or make a decision. Always explaining what would happen. And recommending excellent florists (Ascot)  and minister (Melvyn). I would recommend their services to anyone else but do hope I don’t need them again for a long while. 😄

    John weir’s has been amazing from start to finish. From the very first emotional phone call to the call the day after the funeral to check everything was ok, they have been there for the whole family and nothing was to big or to small for them to do. 

    Every contact made was dealt with professionally and with compassion. Every question asked, no matter how silly it seemed was answered with honesty. 

    I never knew how many things were needed to b thought of once your loved one had passed away but John Weir’s were there to guide us every step of the way. They have made one of the hardest times in our lives that but easier to deal with and we will be forever thankful.

    John Weir funeral directors have an enviable reputation and it is easy to see why. From the moment of first contact you are greeted sensitively and warmly just at the time you are at your most fragile. Their highly professional staff will guide you and offer suggestions to help ensure you get exactly the service you imagined - and probably even better. John Weir has set a standard that others can only strive to achieve.

  • 5 Linda Bussey 13th Jun 2019

    I cannot thank Mr Weir and his team enough. Their support and guidance was invaluable when dad's death was referred to the Coroner and through to his funeral. They helped us to arrange a funeral bespoke for dad and matched our requests perfectly and with attention to detail allowing us to give dad the send-off we wanted. Thank you all for your professionalism, support and attention to detail.
