I cannot thank Deana and the staff at John Weir, Rainham enough. The process of organising a service for a loved one is incredibly daunting. Deana's caring and compassionate manner help guide me through the process, and made the whole process feel easier to accomplish and took a huge weight from my shoulders. I was also amazed and incredibly grateful that John Weir had records going back far enough for my Father's service (which my Mother organised), which I was able to draw some parallels from when arranging my Mother's service. Thank you all so much for your help during these hardest of times. Mr A. McCarthy
