We couldn’t have asked for a nicer company to have dealt with our son’s funeral.
They were very caring and bent over backwards to help in every way.
We would always use John Weir in the future and would recommend to others. -

Having never had to arrange a funeral before I found John weir very warm, welcoming and professional. I was very nervous about my Dads funeral but John weir put myself and my brother at ease and looked after us from the minute we walked in the door right up to after the ceremony. Would definitely recommend.

Deana was amazingly helpful during a difficult time. Everything we wanted (which wasn’t a traditional funeral) was not questioned or a problem. Kindness and compassion was showed throughout the whole process. I would recommend John Weir at anytime.
Thank you again. -

Everyone at John Weir was so kind and compassionate when helping us to organise my husband Gary's funeral. They supported us through every detail of the planning and on the day the funeral was absolutely beautiful. We were guided through every step, which is what you need when you are grieving. They recommended a local florist who provided absolutely stunning flowers, they were able to work the date and time of the service to match up with the venue where the wake was being held, and every time I had any questions - which was a lot - they got straight back to me with all of the information I needed. They handled everything with great sensitivity, most especially the care of my husband when he was taken to them from the hospice where he passed away. Gary was only 46 when he passed away, and his funeral had 200 mourners - John Weir were able to accommodate a service of this size, which was a relief. They were also able to recommend a wonderful celebrant to take the service. When I made the very first phone call to ask them to take on the job of arranging Gary's funeral it was Easter Sunday and there was still somebody there answering the phone, which was a surprise and a relief that I was immensely grateful for. Thank you to everyone at John Weir Rainham branch - especially Sharon, who was such a huge help and support throughout.

Emma at your Parkwood office supported us through the funeral arrangements with kindness and understanding. Kevin who managed the day itself with true professionalism and Mark, the limousine driver, who helped us feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings - every detail was handled with compassion.
We are a family who laugh, even in difficult times, and that was not only accepted but warmly encouraged which meant so much to us.
Thank you. -

We have utilised the services of John Weir on a number of occasions and they have always been excellent. Together with the services of Wigmore Florists, with whom they work closely, you are guaranteed to be very happy with the way your loved one is handled and treated.

5 Gemma McSweeney 23rd Apr 2026
John weir went over and above to support us. All the little, important things that meant the world to us, John weir endeavoured to do. They went back over records from years ago to ensure my father’s funeral was similar to his siblings. They spoke to me frequently and on the day, everything went better than expected. I can’t thank them enough for making my dad’s special day, very special
I would highly recommend after using them for all our family members -

Their service was excellent at every stage.
They were very friendly and professional.
We used John Weir for our fathers funeral back in 1999 and were impressed then
and now 27 years later we received the same brilliant service for our Mum.
Can't thank them enough. -

John Weir were so good. Emma in Parkwood helped us through the difficult time. Showing us options and guiding us along the way. Kept in contact with updates. Calling to check on us before the funeral and then after to check everything went ok. Thank you to all involved.
