Mum and I can’t put into words how perfect my Dad’s funeral service was, and this is all thanks to the lovely John Weir and Sharon. They were both so caring and respectful and helped us plan and achieve everything we wanted for my Dad. We can’t thank them enough.

Sharon Marshall was consummately professional in welcoming and guiding us through a process that we were unfamiliar with. Thank you so much for making things as seamless as possible. James & Steven.

I would highly recommend John Weir.
