Thank you to everyone at Weaver Brothers. My parents were lucky enough to live in Bembridge and we have said goodbye first to mum, and now also to dad. Richard leads a great team at Weaver Brothers. Thank you so much for taking away so much of the stress at these difficult times. I cannot recommend you highly enough

Richard, I just want to say how truly thankful we are for your kindness all through this difficult time, you made us feel that dad was being looked after. It is hard enough to lose someone, let alone during these times but you made it all so much easier. Personally I would like to thank you for your kind offer to take over my reading, should I have found it too difficult to complete - you don’t know his much I appreciated your gesture. You all take care. The ‘Sawyer/Jones’ family.

We as a family could not have asked for anything more from Weavers Brothers funeral services.
Carloline, Richard & Scott were amazing, kind & totally supportive of our needs especially during these very strange times.
We could not fault them in anyway.
Obviously wishing with all our heart we didn't have to use them, but I would never even consider using anybosy else now.
Thank you so much for your care, patience & understanding.

At such a sad time I had to say goodbye to my wonderful Dad which broke my heart in two - with Caroline and Richard with me all the way - I wanted to see dad many times and so they arranged for me to be with him at the chapel - such a beautiful setting and so personal - I will keep the special moments and especially Richard for being so attentive - I would definately recommend Weaver Brothers and all their staff - very professional and so supportive - a Big Hug and thankyou once again

Fantastic service from a well established family firm. Both my parents took funeral plans out with them a few years ago and we've sadly had to action both of them now. Richard and Caroline were perfect - helping so much to create the funerals that my mum and dad wanted and that the family needed. Can't recommend them highly enough.

From the first phone call to Weaver Brothers Richard and all the staff made a difficult time so much easier to bear. Their attention to detail and calm professional manner really helps when you are feeling overwhelmed. Nothing is too much trouble and requests were dealt with swiftly and easily. I highly recommend Weaver Brothers to anyone unfortunate to be dealing with the loss of someone close to them.

Weavers have assisted our family greatly in the last year, my uncle passed away last November and his wife died in February. Weavers made the process as painless as they could, especially as I was organising a funeral on the Island while not living there. Richard went out of his way, and was exceptionally helpful and supportive. Thank you Richard.

Having called almost every funeral director on the island Richard stood out for being the most empathetic, genuine and professional person I spoke by far. After a brief conversation on the phone it was obvious Weaver Brothers were going to be the right choice for us. Richard was, from start to finish, absolutely like he was from that first call; taking incredible care of the whole family, making everything seamless and ensuring nothing was too much trouble and no question was too silly. He was exceptionally prompt and efficient in answering any and all questions. Being my brothers funeral and making

I am writing this on behalf of my partner, whose father passed away, in May of this year. From the very first contact through until the after funeral service support, Mandy and her mother could not fault the service that Weaver brothers gave them.
Her father passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning and, on phoning Weaver brothers, the phone was answered promptly and advice was given in a warm and sympathetic manner as to how to proceed. They supported us and guided us throughout a very difficult time and the service itself, though sad, went extremely well mainly due to Weaver Brothers

My father and I cannot speak highly enough about the service we received from Richard and all at Weavers following my mothers death. As soon as mum arrived at the Funeral home Richard immediately rang to say she was there and peaceful. Throughout the whole process we knew that Richard and those at Weavers treated her with dignity and respect. More importantly the care and compassion shown to dad was unbelievable. Nothing was too much of a problem. Richard often knew what we wanted without having to be told. I will never forget the kindness shown by Richard, Caroline and everyone at Weavers and
