Very professional throughout. Unlike other funeral directors the costs were made clear from the start. It was useful to deal with the same person throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble and the funeral went very smoothly. Highly recommended.

Julia at the Parkwood office was amazing, she took care of every detail in a kind, sensitive and pleasant way. The day went without a hitch due to the meticulous planning. Debbie in the Rainham office was so helpful too, arranging for my florist to come into decorate the wicker coffin. Thank you. I strongly recommend using John Weir.

    With unforeseen complications that could have impacted on the funeral service, Julia at Park Wood showed immense patience and understanding for which we are very grateful. The celebrant was superb and again very patient with what could have been. Indeed without exception those attending the service commented on how lively it was and a true celebration of our mother’s life, for which we are eternally grateful. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for all your help when arranging our Mother's Funeral. We were incredibly upset and unsure of the process, but from the first phonecall to Amanda, to our meetings with Julia, to your staff on the day of the Funeral, we were dealt with kindness and compassion. We also felt that our Mother was also being treated with the greatest of respect. It has been awful to lose our Mother, but your professional service kindness has helped us say goodbye to our Mother with the beautiful service Mum deserved. Thank you.
