S. Stibbards & Sons, Leigh-on-Sea

5 Emma Rose 16th Jun 2022

From the minute Debbie answered the phone, Stibbards have been completely wonderful.  From first to last and everything inbetween.

Their calm, guidance - accommodating some intersting requests - and the care on the day was outstanding.  We were honoured to have Martin Stibbard lead on my father's funeral.  He was awfully kind, considerate and smart.  Totally in command, while being amazingly understated, clever.  

Our theme was blue - the coffin, the flowers, everyone wore blue, so even Stibbards kindly wore blue ties to match.  Small but considerate and hugely appreicated gestures.  Our order of service was 10 pages long - and we sat painstakingly going over and over it, probably about 12 proofs until it was perfect.  The right font, the right shade of blue, the photos placed correctly, our special (peculiar) way of laying things out.  Every punctuation mark, every italic, every underline was scrutinised by us together.  I was so gratgeful for the calm, kind response. 

I would 100% recommend Stibbards.  They also suggested the incredible Seven Hotel for our wake, which we are also eternally grateful for.  What a truly wonderful place that is.  

Warmest regards and thanks.  Emma Rose

My first contact with Stibbards was at 8pm on a Friday evening, they were so kind and helpful. Each contact thereafter I always received kind attention.
On the day of the funeral they were smart, professional, respectful and everything went smoothly.

From the first phonecall to the moment the car dropped us back to the wake, all the staff at Stibbards were respectful, understanding and so helpful. They made a very difficult day go smoothly and without issue even when it began to snow heavily as we left the church. From my mother and my whole family, thank you for looking after my Dad and giving us a perfect farewell.

Once again, a very professional and caring and considerate funeral service. Four years ago Debbie at Stibbards in Leigh managed my Dad’s funeral and just recently Debbie managed my Mums. Every aspect was just right. I thoroughly recommend them as frankly their organisation and guidance was pivotal for the day - everything went as expected and I didn’t have to think about anything other than my family.  Highly recommend. 

5 Douglas Brown 14th Mar 2022

5 Krystyna Kidacka 28th Feb 2022
