Deanna Cavill 15th Oct 2022

John Weir in Rainham did such an amaZing job in 2018 with my nan that when my dad died unexpectedly I knew i wanted to use them for him. From my initial phone call where the lady i spoke to actually gave me to Sharon who looked after my nan, to collecting his ashes everything was perfect. Sharon was always on hand by phone or email to answer all questions and she truly did everything she could to make this time easier. The lovely men who accompanied to dads coffin/hearse and limo for were pure gentlemen and very respectful. I would recommend them to everyone.

    Given that as a family we were coming to terms with the demise of our precious Kay we were overcome with the consideration and sensitivity of all the members of John Weir’s services. I felt at times as though you all were an extension of our family upholding us in our grief and sharing in our celebration of Kate’s wonderful life. Thank you all for your expertise. Sincere thanks to Sharon and Kevin for metaphorically holding our hands when it was needed. God bless you.

    A professional, but friendly company who go the extra mile to ensure that your needs are well catered for.

  • 5 Douglas Smart 27th Aug 2022

    John Weir was not chosen but it was stipulated in the Will as they had been used twice before with success. They were excellent at organising the arrangements and went above and beyond to resolve a particularly difficult issue that was not of their making. On the day of the funeral I could not have wished for it to gave gone better. The John Weir staff in attendance at the funeral were accommodating, courteous and friendly at a time of sadness. John Weir was chosen for me in the Will and I can understand why and I, from my own experience, would thoroughly recommend them as well.

  • 5 Robert Hillier 27th Aug 2022
