    This is the second time we have used John Weir in the space 27 months and on both occasions have found their service excellent.

  • 5 Susan Helen Welch 7th Oct 2016

    We truly appreciated the way staff at John Weir, Rainham helped to make a very painful experience for our family so much easier to bare. Special thanks to Sharon for helping with the planning - Melanie for her patience and caring ways with Mum when we visited Dad to pay our final respects, also Shane and his team on the day of the funeral - all a massive credit to the company.

    Dad had a beautiful send off - every single thing we requested was done perfectly. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this branch and amazing staff to anyone in need of a professional and compassionate service in their time of grief.

    Melanie and the team at John Weir were excellent from the moment i contacted them after the death of my wife Maria. In the most trying times a team of highly professional and empathetic people is what you need and what we got.

  • 5 Samira Braund 4th Oct 2016

  • 5 John Leslie Clohessy 20th Sep 2016

    My wife died August 25, 2016. I felt it wouldn't be long, if/when my wife passed away, i contacted John Weir. I have been to other funerals, have always been impressed with the apparent ease with which the company looks after, sorts out, can look after all aspects for, in this instance my daughters and I.

  • 5 Alison Lewin 9th Sep 2016

    Sadly this is the second time we've had need of their services in the past two years but both times we've been entirely satisfied with the company. The staff were respectful, polite and helpful and both funerals went smoothly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

  • 5 Paul Sherhod 5th Sep 2016

    I cannot recommend John Weir highly enough. We have had cause to work with them twice within a month, which was obviously personally challenging but the team there have been fantastic and found the right balance between making sure that things were arranged in time and keeping a respectful space to allow time to grieve.
    Everything was faultlessly arranged and clearly communicated.

  • 5 Penny Morgan 11th Aug 2016

    John Weir organised the funeral of our uncle on Saturday 6th August. The service our family received was absolutely impeccable. The funeral service was beautiful and our uncle's every wish was fulfilled. John Weir and his staff were throughout models of dignity, empathy and complete support. The memory of our uncle will be forever framed by the very moving and meaningful service which John Weir was instrumentative in helping conduct. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John Weir to your family and loved ones.

  • 5 Janice Maureen Maberley 25th Jul 2016

    Mum's Funeral was as perfect as any funeral could be. The arrangements made by yourselves were timed to perfection and all your staff were extremely helpful.

  • 5 Mark Charles Dalton 22nd Jul 2016

    John Weir made a very hard day easier. I did not have to worry about a thing. The whole family was so happy with the service that John Weir had & still providing.

  • 5 Sharon Greenfield 3rd Jul 2016

    John and his team at Rainham could not have been more supportive, helpful patient or understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and I cannot begin to thank them enough. The standard of the hearse and limousine and driver Les who was so patient and understanding with my mother who had not been out for two years was exemplary. John himself was very considerate to my mothers limited abilities. The service theyprovide is first class.

  • 5 Emma Claire Dalley 2nd Jul 2016

    We couldn't have asked for more care from such lovely people. You took the stress out of what was a very difficult day for us all. A truly professional and caring firm. 

  • 5 Carmel Weitzmann 10th Jun 2016

    Sharon at John Weir in Rainham was compassionate and full of empathy from the first meeting. She ensured my partner was taken good care of and carried out all of my wishes in a caring yet professional manner. He was well looked after as was I, and the funeral arrangements ran smoothly. The recommended celebrant was fantastic and the funeral service was so moving. My partner got a wonderful and fitting farewell. I would highly recommend Sharon and the Rainham John Weir team. Thank you for making such a heartbreaking time a little less stressful.
