Excellent service and input, thoroughly professional. Particular thanks to Janice Hollister for her guidance, input and kindness, you were lovely.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Simon, thank you for taking the time to comment on the service you received and especially your praise for Janice, who I know will be so pleased that all went well for you and the family. -
5 Jacqui Dallimore 5th Apr 2022
We cannot thank you enough especially Janice for the kindness and support that you have shown throughout this whole heart-breaking process. The re assurance you would look after my mum made us all feel comforted. On the day of the funeral Stuart took full control, again with such kindness and empathy, nothing was to much trouble at all. A highly professional service which if you find yourself in this awful situation I could not recommend Sibbards enough . Thank you from Jacqui and all the Edwards Family.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Jacqui, we are so pleased that Janice, Stuart and the team were able to support and care for you as a family so well. I know that we have cared for your family on a number of occasions and we hope that the knowledge that your loved one and your family are being looked after so well brings you great comfort. Thank you for your very kind expressions of gratitude. -
5 Caroline Ireson 31st Mar 2022
Wendy in the Hadleigh office managed my mother’s funeral, in March 2022, most efficiently and helpfully, all by telephone. My mother died out of area in Cheshire so Stibbards liaised with a funeral director up there and made the whole process seamless.
On the funeral day, the team was also superb: guiding us through and looking and being very professional.
We were very pleased with the whole service. Stibbards managed my father’s funeral 12 years ago and the service was as good this year as it was 12 years ago.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Caroline, thank you for your kind words and particular praise for Wendy. We are so pleased that the care you received met with your expectations and thank you for your continued support for our family run company. -
5 Dave Paxton 29th Mar 2022
Went back too Stibbards &Son Canvey as they did such a great, professional and caring job. They have now dealt with my Nan and Granddad in the 70’s, my uncle in the 80’s and now my mum and dad. Thank you so much for all your help with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Dave, thank you to your family for continuing to put your trust in us to care for your family in such difficult times. We are truly grateful for your faith in us as a company and hope we have served you well. -

5 Justyna Robin 23rd Mar 2022
To Janice,
The difficulties I faced arranging a funeral for my precious son were made easier with your empathy, compassion and professionalism.
Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude for all that you have done for our family over the past few weeks. You showed humility, compassion and kindness at a time we really needed it and for this we will always be grateful. Thank you for guiding us through on the day. You went above and beyond to make my sons funeral perfect.
We are also very impressed with the quality of the recordings of the service and in these times it will be greatly valued by the family and friends.
With all our love and best wishes
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Justyna, thank you for taking the time to thank Janice for all the help and guidance she afforded to you in assisting you with the arrangements for your beloved son 'Kas'. I know that she will never forget you and your family and it was the greatest of privileges for her to be able to care for Kas whilst he was in her care. We all wish you the very best for the future and are always here if you need us. -

From the 1st phone call on the evening of my mums passing to the final service, Sibbards have been nothing short of perfect in every way, Professional, caring and companionate I can only class them as excellent.
Gary CooperMartin Stibbards replied

5 Suzanne Rigden 20th Mar 2022
Once again, a very professional and caring and considerate funeral service. Four years ago Debbie at Stibbards in Leigh managed my Dad’s funeral and just recently Debbie managed my Mums. Every aspect was just right. I thoroughly recommend them as frankly their organisation and guidance was pivotal for the day - everything went as expected and I didn’t have to think about anything other than my family. Highly recommend.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Suzanne, we are so sorry that we have had to come into your life again. I hope that you felt reassured and cared for during the arrangements and Debbie provided a familiar friendly face at this difficult time. -

5 Christine Weekes 19th Mar 2022
I cannot put into words how beautiful Mum’s funeral was and that is in no small part down to the organisation, professionalism and support of you and your team throughout.
Thank you to Martin, Maria, Wendy and everyone who attended from the Stibbards. You made the process much easier to deal with, at what is a very difficult time.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. Mum would have been chuffed to bits.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Christine, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know your thoughts and for entrusting us with the care of your dearest Mum. We are so pleased that Mum's service was all that you had wished it to be and it was such an honour for us to look after you and your family. Maria, myself and all the team wish you all the very best for the future, best wishes Martin -
5 Pat Morton 18th Mar 2022
The entire team at Stibbards was fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly professional, kind, and patient. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they guided us expertly through the entire process. There were so many little touches and gestures that demonstrated their utter professionalism. Nothing but the highest praise.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Pat, thank you for your touching words which mean some much to us all here at Stibbards, we are so glad that we managed to look after you so well. -
5 Christina Hall 15th Mar 2022
We were very happy with Stibbards’ services for our Dad’s recent funeral. We used them for my Nan’s funeral many years ago, then for Mum’s funeral two years ago, so we were confident they would look after Dad well. David and Andrew (in the Hockley office) were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Scott, who was in charge of the funeral on the day, was so kind and made sure everything went smoothly - nothing was too much trouble. The small personal touches make a big difference - from the book of remembrance provided, to the memorial service held later on in the year. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stibbards.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Christina, thank you for putting your trust in us once again. We are so sorry that we have to come into your life at such difficult times but hope that you find comfort in knowing that we will always do all we can for you and care for your family. Thank you for your gracious comments. -

5 Mandi Reid-Michael 12th Mar 2022

Everything was just perfect I feel they went above and beyond to make the day special and I felt happy that he was safe and being taken care of while waiting for the funeral to take place.Nothing was to much trouble they are kind caring and exceptional people taking my Daddy on his final journey.

We cannot thank Stibbards enough for their professional kind compassionate energy in the organisation of my son Phoenix's funeral.
I was lost never having had to organise anything like this before yet their support helped my surviving son and i to organise the most personal and heartfelt celebration of Phoenix’s life .
At every point they were there for us supporting and advising and making our personal Touches come to life in the unique way that we needed it to be .
We did not have a large budget but it could not have been any more beautiful for our cherished son and brother.
We could not recommend Stibbards enough they are a truly amazing family company and they clearly understand the honouring of life in every aspect surrounding these tragic occasions.
We are so grateful that such a warm Company like this exists and cant praise them enough .
With love and thanks 🙏🏻
