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.

    Fantastic customer service. We were looked after by Deana and she couldn’t have be more helpful at such a sad time. She helped us with such good advice from the minute we met her. And the actual day went very smoothly. 
    Not a nice subject to be reviewing but John Weir’s were brilliant. 
    Thank you Rainham branch.
    Best Regards
    Alan & Linda

    The service was excellent and Melanie in the Rainham office was very professional and I would recommend John Weir to my friends.

  • 5 Elena Wilkins 26th Feb 2019

    We chose John Weir as they also did my Dads funeral 3 years ago.
    Deana dealt with us both times which was lovely. She went above and beyond to help and support us. She remembered us all and had the privilege to have met my mum. The care and respect they showed throughout was outstanding to not only the family but more importantly my mum. 
    They accommodated our wishes for the funeral even though it wasn’t straight forward.
    Ben was so lovely on the day, introducing us to the beautiful well cared for horses and as ever being so very respectful and kind. 
    John weir supported us from beginning to end of such a traumatic time and I will be forever greatful to them. 
    I felt comfort knowing that our mum was left with people who made themselves more than service providers, they were like good friends.

    I cannot fault them one bit and could not have found the strength to lay my mum to rest without them.

    For your professionalism; kindness; and respect I cannot rate them enough.

    Forever greatful

    Elena Wilkins and family of Elizabeth Anne Lunnon
