John Weir organised the funeral of our uncle on Saturday 6th August. The service our family received was absolutely impeccable. The funeral service was beautiful and our uncle's every wish was fulfilled. John Weir and his staff were throughout models of dignity, empathy and complete support. The memory of our uncle will be forever framed by the very moving and meaningful service which John Weir was instrumentative in helping conduct. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John Weir to your family and loved ones.

    John and his team at Rainham could not have been more supportive, helpful patient or understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and I cannot begin to thank them enough. The standard of the hearse and limousine and driver Les who was so patient and understanding with my mother who had not been out for two years was exemplary. John himself was very considerate to my mothers limited abilities. The service theyprovide is first class.

    We couldn't have asked for more care from such lovely people. You took the stress out of what was a very difficult day for us all. A truly professional and caring firm.

    Sharon at John Weir in Rainham was compassionate and full of empathy from the first meeting. She ensured my partner was taken good care of and carried out all of my wishes in a caring yet professional manner. He was well looked after as was I, and the funeral arrangements ran smoothly. The recommended celebrant was fantastic and the funeral service was so moving. My partner got a wonderful and fitting farewell. I would highly recommend Sharon and the Rainham John Weir team. Thank you for making such a heartbreaking time a little less stressful.

    I was very impressed with the service we received. The staff were genuinely kind, thoughtful and incredibly professional. They made a sad day memorable in the best way possible way.

  • 5 Mark, Jacqui and the team at Jacksons 31st May 2016

    We were dealt with by Sharon Marshall. She was not only professional, but very understanding too. She gave us time when we needed it and did not rush us, but gently guided us through the process. We received follow up calls advising us what John Weir's had done and advising us what would happen next; one less thing for us to worry about.
    We would thoroughly recommend John Weir's and Sharon Marshall in particular - a calming influence at a time when our lives and our emotions were in turmoil.

  • 5 Robin David Brearey 20th May 2016

    As a family going through the hardest situation imaginable, we can honestly say that John Weir gave us a faultless and personal service. In our opinion he gave us service over and above what we would have expected and are truly grateful to him for his visits to our home and the compassion he showed every member of our family.
