Deborah Hartley 14th Jan 2021

John Weir provided an excellent service. Conversations leading up to the funeral with Anna Daltrey were provided with great empathy and warmth. The orders of service were well produced and of excellent quality. The service itself went very smoothly and everything was as it should be in these surreal times. My family and I cannot thank them enough for the service they provided. Thank you.

    Sharon of the Rainham office looked after us. I really needed some body to guide me through the process of my Dad's funeral. Even with the current COVID restrictions Sharon was always available by telephone. She was so helpful. On the day Kevin who directed proceedings was highly professional but at the the same time very caring and attentative. John Weir (Rainham) made a painful day just a little less painful.

    We decided to go with JW after receiving poor service from another FD and JW team were simply amazing. We were assigned Kelly who looked after us so well. She arranged everything, was decisive, quick with coming back to us with dates and responses to our queries. On the day Shane and the team were amazing.They also worked so well with Rev Nathan Ward so the whole day was a huge success and we can not thank them enough . I would so recommend them for their professionalism and sensitivity to our family. Thank you all at JW

A huge thank you for organising the funeral, it went exactly how it was planned. My wife would have been proud of her send off. Thank you. Lee
