From start to finish I cannot fault the service from Stibbards Rayleigh. Wendy made what was a horrible time just that bit easier, going through all options in great detail and helping make the day perfect. The horses that took my mum to the crematorium were just beautiful. The whole day was perfect, thank you Wendy and Stibbards.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Michelle,
Wendy will be so pleased that you felt supported and cared for during the arrangements for your beloved Mum. We are so pleased that she had the send-off she deserved, and this will hopefully bring you comfort in the future

5 Mick Sharpe 1st May 2023
From initial contact on the day of passing the funeral directors were very professional. They listened to the family's needs and were sensitive and so thoughtful and considerate. The sevice conducted was perfect and personalised. The whole day was a celebration of life giving our loved one the send off they deserved.
Dave Ponton replied

5 Iris Horton 29th Apr 2023
I cannot recommend Karen Brodrick from Stibbard's Funeral Directors
highly enough.
She was kind calm compassionate and very knowledgeable.
She guided me through the organisation of our dear Ron's funeral.
with deceptive ease considering that at the moment I am,
'a one armed dyslexic technophobe.'
Her innate empathy and experience enabled her to help me to
precisely carry out Ron's wishes.
Karen was attentive throughout and so I knew what to expect and when.
I found her to be a truly lovely genuine lady and she has my family's and
my sincere thanks and deep gratitude for the peace of mind she brought
to us at this very difficult and sad time.
Kind regards
Iris Horton
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Iris, thank you for putting your trust in us once again and I am so pleased that Karen and the team looked after you all so well, I will ensure that your thoughts are shared with Karen who always tries to go above and beyond. -

5 Michael Coveney 25th Apr 2023
It was a pleasure working with Debbie on Martin's funeral, her advice always welcome and helpful. The flowers for the coffin were beautiful (florist her recommendation) and the attention of the pall bearers considerate and well organised. The limo for the crematorium was first class and everything went off as well as we could have possibly hoped. We are really grateful for Stibbards arranging such a wonderful, dignified send off for Martin. And the company's working relationship with Fr Kevin Hale and Our Lady of Lourdes was an important element in our sense of support and reassurance.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Michael, thank you for your very generous comments which mean so much to all of us at Stibbards. As a family company we cherish the relationships that we build with our families and your kind comments will be shared with the team. -

5 Linda Russell-Mott 17th Apr 2023
Stibbards recently supported us with our mother's funeral, and now our Father's. On both occasions they were absolute professionals and made a very difficult time more bearable, from arranging the funeral right through until the day itself. I would not hesitate in recommending them.
Dave Ponton replied
Dear Linda, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and for putting your trust in us once again, it was so lovely to look after you and your family and I am so pleased that all was as you wished. -

5 Michael Hunt 8th Apr 2023
S. Stibbards & Son's organised my mother's funeral which had been prepaid several years earlier.
Initial contact was with Debbie who was very professional and communicative. The preparation for funeral went very well. Their services included picking up my severely disabled brother from his care home, enabling him to attend. The limousines and hearses were excellent. Scott, the Conductor, was knowledgeable and caring as well as highly professional. The funeral went very well indeed.
I highly recommend this company, especially for those who are dreading the process of organising their loved one's funeral.Dave Ponton replied
Dear Michael, we are always here to help in any way we can, I am so pleased that Debbie, Scott and the team took such diligent care of you and the family and you felt that the service was a reflection of your wishes -
4 Robin Bickell 16th Apr 2023
There did seem to be an issue with the link - some people found it difficult to log on . This did seem to be resolved. Our first choice of charity - The Brain Trust was apparently not available under the Funeral Guide and so the Brain Charity was used. The Brain Trust was excellent with the support it gave and so this was disappointing. We did ask and was told that the Brains Trust could not be used. Why? Other than the above the Funeral Guide worked well.
