Westcliff Stibbard & Sons, were absolutely amazing looking after my dad. From the time of collecting to the cremation, they were so professional, caring and understanding. We were looked after by Janice and could not fault her in anyway. Would recommend Stibbard and Sons to anybody.

The service provided by Stibbards was simply exemplary. They made a most difficult time as easy and seamless as possible and offered excellent advice and guidance throughout the whole process. They were personable yet courteous and professional. They were also endlessly patient with questions and queries and very easy to communicate with by phone or email. Thanks to Martin, David and the team, we were able to give my father a fitting send off. I cant recommend or praise them highly enough.

5 Clare Curran 12th Mar 2023
The team at Stibbards were excellent from our first interaction and throughout. Janice was an excellent guide throughout the whole process and ensured that we were able to give our father the send off that he would have been proud of. Simon was an excellent lead on the day and ensured that the whole day went without hiccup. I would proudly recommend Stibbards to anyone that is dealing with bereavement as I'm sure you would struggle to beat the compassion and service you would find there.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Clare, we are so pleased that Janice, Simon and the team were able to support and care for you as a family so well. 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 truly kind expressions of gratitude

5 Keith Davidson 6th Mar 2023
My mother took out a funeral plan some years ago with Golden Charter and nominated Stibbards to be her funeral Director. It was one of the best investments she ever made. As her youngest son it was my responsibility to arrange the funeral. Debbie Eade, the Funeral Arranger at Stibbards, was exceptional, her attention to detail was superb. Basically she did everything, guided me through everything required in meeting my mother's wishes, arranged the website, the webcam, order of service and most importantly sorted out all of the legal documentation and arrangements with the coroner, the doctor's surgery and the crematorium. Debbie even recommended a minister to preside over the service, who was fantastic. Communication throughout the arrangements was excellent. At the service Martin Stibbard and his team were extremely kind and thoughtful and all those who attended commented on their service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stibbards to friends and family. My family and I cannot thank Stibbards enough for all you have done.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Keith, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us,
a funeral plan can alleviate stress for those that are left behind to make arrangments. I am so pleased that Debbie and the team took such diligent care of you and the family and you felt that the service was a reflection of your Mothers planned wishes. -
5 Michelle Phillips 6th Mar 2023
The family can not thank Kate, Stuart, the whole team at Stibbards for their kind & caring approach in arranging & carrying out my late step-dad's funeral, nothing was too much to ask. Always professional but never forgetting that it is about our cherished loved ones.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Michelle, Kate and Stuart will be so pleased that you felt supported and cared for during the arrangements for your step-dad. We are so pleased that he had the send-off he deserved, and this will hopefully bring you comfort in the future
