5 Sara Bowkis 21st Dec 2022
This is the second time we have used Stibbards, on both occasions we have been looked after fantastically by Wendy at Hadleigh. Of course it’s a difficult time, but it is made a little easier by their professionalism and sensitivity. From the first meeting through to the funeral, and after it was faultless.

Warm and kind from the first meeting to remove my Dad from his home where he passed.

2 Graham Edwards 15th Dec 2022
I wasn't happy about all the mistakes so bad that I had to go to view him in the Chapel of rest to make sure it was Graham in the coffin. The last straw was when you put the wrong name on the obituary for the webcam information. As you can imagine the family are distraught and would like some compensation
Martin Stibbards replied
