I wanted to let you know how very grateful we were for the service you arranged for Dad. We have had nothing but amazing comments and you made what is an incredibly emotional and stressful experience as palatable as it could possibly have been.
You and your team are consummate professionals and we can't thank you enough for your treatment of our loved one.
We also thought you might like to know that we have raised over £1,000 for Alzheimer's Research!
We wish you all the very best for the future.

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.
