I was highly impressed by everything they did for my dad’s funeral. Wendy arranged everything and was compassionate, empathetic and warm, the entire service from start to finish was first class. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others, and would happily use them again.

Martin went above and beyond. Myself and my wife were clueless when our son passed away and Martin explained everything and guided us with genuine compassion. We are so pleased that we chose Stibbards. Faultless to the end.
