  • 5 Heather Ford 2nd May 2018

    The service we received and attention to detail was faultless from the point of first contact to the funeral.  From other funerals I have recently attended where the larger chains of companies have taken over some of the independent funeral directors there was no comparison.  Our experience was far superior. Many thanks.

  • 5 Nigel Allan Browne 17th Apr 2018

    This is the second time I have had occasion to use the services provided by J Weir Funeral Directors of Rainham Kent and have found their staff to be very professional, kind, courteous and always willing to go the extra mile to make a success of an otherwise difficult time.
    Arrangements on the day went off without a hitch thanks to the Directors flexibility and the service as a whole was a great success.
    Many Thanks to the team at J Weir

  • 5 Michael John Gunnill 4th Apr 2018

    We have used John Weir before and were pleased. This time proved even better, they seemed to have moved with the times and their customer service seems to have improved again. Nothing was so much trouble, when we were following exact requests. The day passed well, thanks to the skill of John Weir. Especial thanks to Sharon and the team at the crematorium.  At times like these, you don't need the extra worry about the funeral directors. With John Weir this was never a concern and we were very pleased. Thank you to all.

  • 5 Mrs. Jenny Luck 3rd Apr 2018

    We were very happy with the service received from John Weir, they were courteous, professional, friendly and prompt with any of our enquiries.
