This is the fourth time we have used John Weir Funeral Directors Rainham. They are very caring and supportive from the beginning to the end. They are a family business which I feel makes a difference. In a time of high costs I felt their charges were very reasonable. If in the future we are sadly in need of the services of a Funeral Director, we would certainly contact John Weir again.

We could not of asked for a more professional and personal service, Melanie was such a kind and thoughtful person, she was so helpful and tactful in such sad circumstances. I cannot recommend John Weir highly enough.From the first meeting until our last, we were treated like they really cared. Many, many thanks.
