  • 5 David John Youdle 14th Jan 2018

    From start to finish I had nothing but useful help and advice given by a very pleasant employee called Deana. I was also given the opportunity to speak to John Weir himself and he gave me a lot of good advice too. It is not the first time I have used their services and each time the service is excellent. The funeral was faultless and the staff were very thoughtful, carrying out their duties quietly, but thoroughly. They made a very sad occasion much more bearable. An excellent family run firm.

  • 5 Sarah Anne Austin 8th Dec 2017

    They were excellent. Very Helpful, Kind, Efficient, they made a very hard time much easier. Can not recommend highly enough or give enough thanks.

  • 5 Sue Sandy 5th Dec 2017

    As the funeral was for my daughter, only 30 years old, who took her own life after years of mental illness, it was probably an even more difficult occasion than some. All of the arrangements were handled sensitively, with continuous communication with us to be sure everything was as we wanted. On the day, all went to time and the staff from John Weir were polite and unobtrusive.
    There was a follow-up call later to check that we were satisfied with the service provided, which we were. We chose John Weir as they had provided the arrangements for another family member some years ago. They have retained the same excellent service.

  • 5 Billie-Jo Fullager 13th Nov 2017

  • 5 Anna Speed-Andrews 31st Oct 2017

    John Weir and, in particular Melanie Leeman, looked after our family with the utmost care, respect and attention. Always on hand for any questions and incredibly accommodating in every way she allayed our fears and made us feel comfortable and the process as straightforward and streamlined as it could possibly be. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend John Weirs and their incredibly professional but warm approach to what is inevitably an incredibly difficult process for any bereaved family to go through. Thank you so much for making it bearable.

  • 5 Natalie Bess 18th Oct 2017

    "I am absolutely pleased with the service - the whole lot. All the people at the service guided me and helped me through it. Deana was absolutely wonderful and 100% supported me throughout the arrangements. They have done an excellent job. I can't fault them. And they did an excellent job looking after Hadley." - Mrs Maria Prestage

  • 5 Chris & Vicki Atkinson 9th Oct 2017

    All at John Weir were wonderful and kind at a very difficult time. They were courteous and respectful and we never felt rushed in any way and was given time to think things over before making any decisions. Deana especially was a truly kind and lovely lady who couldn’t of been any nicer if she tried. She really made it a much kinder and easier experience for us all. Thank you all from a forever grateful family.
