Beryl Butcher 22nd Aug 2017

I cannot praise John Weir and his team enough for the way they conducted the after death care of my husband. They were compassionate, empathic and totally professional. Nothing was left to chance and their care of me was as good as the care of my husband. Every member of the team performed to the very highest standard. They are simply the best!

  • 5 Alex McCarthy 30th Jun 2017

    I cannot thank Deana and the staff at John Weir, Rainham enough. The process of organising a service for a loved one is incredibly daunting. Deana's caring and compassionate manner help guide me through the process, and made the whole process feel easier to accomplish and took a huge weight from my shoulders.

    I was also amazed and incredibly grateful that John Weir had records going back far enough for my Father's service (which my Mother organised), which I was able to draw some parallels from when arranging my Mother's service.

    Thank you all so much for your help during these hardest of times. Mr A. McCarthy

    I cannot thank you enough Deana for the way you looked after us and especially Carol. Nothing was too much for you and you were always in contact to make sure everything was all right. You said you could do anything we asked and you were very true to your word. Many thanks to Shane and his team on the day as everything ran perfectly which was a great comfort not only to the family but to everyone attending.

  • 5 Jane Whiteley 9th May 2017

    We received a superb service from our Rainham Branch of Weirs. Melanie was so professional yet empathetic, she made me so comfortable and at ease. She kept in constant contact with me and nothing was too much trouble. On the day of the funeral everything went without a hitch and the staff were again absolutely brilliant.

    We would definitely recommend Weirs.

    We can't thank Melanie at John Weir Rainham enough for taking care of my father.  Very understanding, professional & most of all always there to guide us through the processes & more importantly ensuring everything went smoothly on the day.  I would also like to add Bridget conducted the service beautifully.  Thank you all, it made a very difficult day a little easier.

    From the moment we walked in through the door at John Weir's we felt love, care and respect.  Their attention to detail is above and beyond.  Deana, you made our whole experience a better one for your listening ear, advice and patience.  And on the day, Kevin arrived promptly and took wonderful care of us all.  No request was too much trouble and you can be assured that the funeral that you plan will be delivered to the very best it can be, individual to you.  The team at Rainham deserve as much recognition and praise as I can give. Love to you all.  Mandy, Mike and Family. xxx

    What an outstanding service I got from Melanie, she made me feel at ease with the whole process of arranging a funeral for my wife Lesley. I would also like to thank the hearse drivers and the bearers for making the day go perfect. Once again I'd like to say a special thanks to Melanie.
    Many thanks,
    Adrian Riley.
