  • 5 Andrew McGowan 15th Aug 2020

    Throughout this difficult time, everyone at John Wier we’re simply lovely. I felt at ease with them when ever we spoke rough through to the service. At the service we had the privilege of having John Weir with us for the service. Because of them all the service was plain sailing and for the best of reasons it was pleasurable to be able to say goodbye to Doris knowing that everything was taken care of, after the service I received a follow up phone call to see if we were all ok. This was a lovely touch and we will be forever grateful for everything that John Weir’s team did for our family
