Then on the day Scott was just the best, guiding us through the hardest day of our lives with such compassion and tending to all our requests and needs. we as a family will be forever grateful for the kindness shown to our family, Thank you so so much from Pats girls xxxx

When you are at a desperately sad moment in your life, need help along the way with a topping of kindness, when your beloved family member passes on, then do not hesitate to call the legends at Stibbards.
Every single person that I dealt with from the night my brilliant Mum passed away until the end of the funeral, was truly, truly wonderful.
Everything was a sad, tear-filled blur as my family and I turned up at the gorgeous new offices to navigate this new situation. However, the whole team made the process extraordinarily calming and professional whilst my face looked like a football from crying and I had not a clue as to where to begin. Stibbards carefully guided us through everything from the booking the horses, all of the day’s arrangements through to the Order of Service brilliantly.
Thanks to David Brittney for answering my very random questions on email that I sent, along with Stuart Stibbards-Fryer who led the funeral for us. Everyone at Stibbards, thank you. I could really go on BUT
know that both you and your loved one will be cared for with love and respect throughout your sadness and honestly, I cannot rate Stibbards highly enough.
