Stibbards were extremely caring, compassionate and professional, helping us as a family to navigate a very difficult time. Always very responsive and flexible, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much to Leo and the team for their support and guidance. From the initial phone call right up to the funeral service itself, they were there every step of the way and helped to give my Dad a send off he would’ve been proud of.

Stibbards Rayleigh
We received a very professional service from everyone.
Wendy our arranger was very friendly and helpful arranging the cremation, she always returned calls and sorted any queries or problems and answered our many questions.
We were lucky to have a friendly face with Scott our Mr Top Hat who was respectful of our wishes and gave a great service. He knew my husband and so did Darren who was a friendly and caring driver.
Thank you all at Stibbards Rayleigh for making a very sad occasion the best it could possibly be.
Beverly PyleScott Bartlett replied
Dear Beverly, We really appreciate the time taken to share such kindhearted sentiments. From Wendy guiding you through the arrangements to being cared for so well on the day...We thank you.
A true testament to Nigel as he filled the chapel twice over and I hope all went well back at the golf club. -

From the initial phone call, right through to the end of the funeral service itself, there was always polite & professional advice readily available.
I would like to mention 2 of the staff who gave a very kind and compassionate service from start to finish.
1. Wendy. She took us through the whole procedure at our own pace, answering all the questions in detail. She was also on hand with a box of tissues and a lovely cup of coffee.
2. Scott. This man goes far above and beyond to make sure that everything is done with the utmost care and compassion. Nothing is too much trouble.Scott Bartlett replied
Dear Tony, Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words. Wendy and myself feel honored with our special mentions and so pleased that you have received such a professional service from start to finish. Dad would have been made up that his final journey was on the Bedford Truck. -
