David Brittney at the Stibbards Shoebury office was extremely kind and helpful and on the day everything went smoothly. We did a route from the house via all the clubs my husband was involved in and it was so wonderful that Lee got out and walked at every three, giving us time to see all the people who'd come out to pay their respects to my husband and time for the family to reflect. I felt very safe and comforted in Lee's hands. Thank you.

Robert Higgins 8th Mar 2021

About Us

The caring team at S Stibbards & Sons understand that contacting a funeral director can seem daunting, but with over 150 years experience, they are there to listen, reassure and support families at this very difficult time.

As a funeral home with family values at its heart, its focus is upon providing compassionate funeral care to families in Shoeburyness and the surrounding villages, including Foulness Island, at whatever time of day or night it is needed.

When it can be hard to focus on decision-making, it is the role of their caring team to listen and support families in a reassuring space where they can focus on their loved one.

S Stibbards & Sons’ Shoeburyness funeral home was fully refurbished in 2003, and provides a calm and tranquil atmosphere in which to make funeral arrangements. It is fully accessible to wheelchair users, and has a private chapel of rest where families can spend precious time with their loved one, reassured that their funeral wishes are being taken care of. Should you prefer support in more familiar surroundings, a home visit can be arranged.

Whether families prefer a full traditional funeral service, or a quiet farewell tailored to their needs, funeral director Martin Stibbards and his experienced staff aim to ensure that the arrangements fulfil every family’s wishes.

Stibbards offers a fleet of modern Jaguar hearses and limousines to ensure families and their loved one will travel in comfort, driven by their professional staff. Traditional horse-drawn hearses, vintage vehicles and other bespoke options can also be arranged.

S Stibbards & Sons is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Homes Association (SAIF) and meets the high standards set by both.

It offers Golden Charter funeral plans to those who are considering the future, while as part of its support for families, it offers in-house bereavement counselling.

  • 5 Julie Dunnico 16th Nov 2020

    The whole service was set out well and everyone thanked me afterwards. Scott was very kind and guided us to what to do.
    Only downside, which has nothing to do with Stibbards is that Rev. Wright got the Order of Service wrong and read out a speech that my Aunt was going to say.

    Lee Marston replied
    Dear Julie, we thank you for your comments, and we are pleased that Scott was able to support you on the day, we are sorry to hear that there was some confusion on the ministers side and hope this didn't detract from the day
