From the first meeting, the *** representative (Sheron) was amazing. Always calm and reassuring when dealing with our (numerous) questions. Talked very clearly about our options and the impending processes and no question/request was deemed silly or irrelevant. Always found time to discuss subsequent questions/changes and dealt with everything in the same accommodating manner. Overall, the whole experience was made as easy as possible at a difficult time.

Deana and others were excellent. Very friendly and caring at a difficult time. All were professional and courteous in there rolls. Brian’s funeral was as I wanted it to be with on problems. I was very happy with the service. Thank you.

  • 4 Karen Hedayati 22nd Jun 2024

    All good as expected,but didn't like the app for obituary/ donations etc. Awkward. And the link with passwords to watch service online were just lost among the dozens of emails i had so my relatives didn't get to watch it. And the view of the service was limited at medway Crematorium.

    I can't thank John Weir Funeral Directors, and Deana in particular, enough for helping me through the tough task of arranging my Mother's funeral. I felt respected and supported throughout and the funeral service itself went without a hitch. Deana definitely "went the extra mile" to ensure that the funeral was as I had hoped and as I am sure my Mother would have wanted. Thank you

    Many thanks again from Gillian Chapman and family.

    I cannot thank John Weir Funeral Directors enough for helping make such a difficult time easier. Deana made the whole process seem much less daunting. She was kind, patient and always available if we had any questions. John Weir worked quickly and efficiently so that I was able to see my dad one last time. The funeral itself ran smoothly and was just what we wanted to say goodbye and celebrate the life of our loved one. I would recommend John Weir in a heartbeat.
