Roger Best 9th Nov 2023

Very organised and professional. The "office support" was very diligent, very supportive and very robust. The performance on the day was super- slick and also supportive and sympathetic..

Kayleigh Bonney 6th Nov 2023

I can’t thank you all enough for everything you done for me and my family. Knowing even after the funeral you are all still there for me supporting me and my family is truly amazing. No words can be said to how grateful I am. I honestly can say if it wasn’t for you all I wouldn’t be where I am today. So thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ x

    They were absolutely great from start to finish Deana Worsfold was also great nothing was a problem for her.

  • 5 John Morley 1st Nov 2023

    Recently very sadly my wife passed away in quite traumatic circumstances.

    Luckily I chose John Weir Funeral Directors to carry out all of the arrangements.

    They have been first class in all areas of my wifes funeral, from initial contact where the staff were very respectful, sympathetic and knowledgeable, helping and guiding me through what is to most people unknown territory and then on the day ensuring everything went according to plan, on time and in a very dignified manner.

    The office staff have all worked hard to make my life as easy as possible in what has been a very testing period, Anna in particular has been a tower of strength guiding, advising and reassuring making sure no detail was missed.

    The hearse and cars all looked brand new and the funeral director, drivers and attending staff were immaculately turned out, on time (like clockwork) polite and extremely helpful.

    And then after the funeral much professionalism and empathy has been displayed in tying up all those loose ends that need attention.

    Thanks to John and all at John Weir who assisted and helped me on that very difficult and important journey.

    Yours Sincerely John Morley.

  • 5 Clair Vince 14th Sep 2023

    The whole process was smooth and handled extremely professionally but also with compassion and care. I felt supported all the way and they never made me feel my little queries were unimportant. In fact one of the staff said if it matters to you it matters to us. I also really appreciated the fact you deal with one member of staff all the way from start to end. On the day of the funeral the pallbearers and drivers couldn’t have been more kind and the gentleman overseeing the day was so polite and there was a great deal of respect for me, the other mourners and the vicar who was taking the service. I can’t recommend them highly enough, they were brilliant

  • 5 Lianne Gail Falkingham 5th Sep 2023

    John Weir are exemplary Funeral Directors. We are so glad that we chose them for our parents' funerals. They take care of every aspect in a professional and sensitive manner. Their chapel of rest is peaceful and they treated our parents with dignity and compassion. Nothing is too much trouble - they accommodated all our needs, answered questions, led us gently through the various stages of planning and kept us informed at all times. Their experience and knowledge is impressive and they explained everything to us clearly and simply - it just made everything so much easier, at what is an emotional time. Very attentive and respectful on the day of the funeral - which ran smoothly and enabled us to relax and say our final farewells. Will always be grateful that John Weir were there beside us all the way - would highly recommend them to anyone.
