  • 5 Judy Hay 4th Sep 2017

    I have nothing but good things to say about the service I received from John Weir in assisting me in arranging John's service. Theresa has been/was a great help and provided a seamless service together with a lot of support and kindness which helped me to get through an extremely difficult/upsetting time (especially dealing with the hospital/coroner). I cannot thank her enough. The gentlemen who drove us and attended to us at the Crematorium could not have been kinder and understanding, even to helping my daughter-in-law's parents (who are not well themselves) to feel as if they were not being rushed or holding people up. I will not hesitate to recommend John Weir (Gillingham and Theresa) to anyone. I must also thanks Theresa for suggesting Maria as the celebrant she also was excellent and very compassionate. Many thanks again Judy Hay (and Martine)

    Brilliant service. From the first steps of meeting Teresa at the Gillingham brance who was really welcoming and patient with me and my 2 sisters. To the funeral conductors on the day who were very prossesional and very attentive to our needs. Shane in particular was excellent.
    I would definitely recommend John Weir. We have used them for both my mum and dads funeral now, as you are guaranteed the top level of service. A big thank you to Teresa and the team.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending the Gillingham branch of John Weir Funeral Directors. I was treated with compassion and understanding. All through the bereavement nothing was too much to ask. It went very smoothly on what was a stressful day and I couldn't have asked for any more. Thank you

  • 5 Paul Stevens 26th May 2017

    We have used John Weir before, and again have no complaints about the service received. This extended from Teresa in the office to Shane and the pallbearers at the funeral. All instructions and requests were followed, and the sad occasion was made easier by their good service.
