A huge thank you to Debbie for helping us with all our plans and making Brian’s farewell a day full of love & memories.

Stibbards staff supported me at every step. When I couldn’t upload a photo, David found a different way to solve the problem without extra stress. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much all of the support during such a stressful time.

5 Beverley Elliott 21st Jul 2025
I couldn’t have asked for more care, attention and help while I was arranging Johns funeral. At a vulnerable time, your attention to detail was second to none and there was very little I had to think about. Thank you so much for making the day as stress free as possible

Couldn't fault them. Looked after us so well so soon after Mum passing to re-unite Mum and Dad. Thank you so much. Rob
Scott Bartlett replied
Dear Rob,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly our privilege to support you and your family once again during such a tender time.
The church service was a touching tribute, filled with heartfelt memories of Dad. I'm sure he would have appreciated the vintage Austin hearse chosen for his final journey — a fitting nod to a life well lived.
Now reunited with Mum, may they rest in peace eternally.

Certainly. Here's a respectful and positive review you can use
I cannot thank Stibbards Funeral Home enough for the care, professionalism, and compassion they showed during such a difficult time. From the very first contact, every member of the team was supportive, attentive, and genuinely kind. They handled every detail with the utmost sensitivity and ensured the entire process was smooth and dignified.
Their guidance was invaluable, and nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. They took the time to listen, accommodate our wishes, and deliver a service that was not only respectful but also deeply meaningful. It brought great comfort to know our loved one was in such good hands.
