5 Leigh Fyson 30th Jan 2024
I was very happy with the service and advice I received when arranging my late mother’s funeral and the interment of her ashes. The team were on hand when needed and everything went smoothly. I would especially like to thank Lee and the pallbearers who showed such respect and kindness on the day of the funeral. The Stibbards office on Canvey Island were also very attentive as they assisted with the interment of ashes. Thank you all.

5 Anna Coster 30th Jan 2024
We, as a family couldn’t have asked for anything more on the day of our Dad’s service and the lead up to it.
From start to finish everything ran smoothly and the attention to detail was second to none.
There aren’t enough ‘Thankyous’ to say how grateful we are. -

5 Michelle Ashley-James 20th Jan 2024
From the moment I contacted Stibbard and Sons, to arrange my Late Husbands
funeral, I was put at ease, guided by their expertise, advice, and guidance.
The kindness and compassion shown to My family and support was exceptional.
My Husband Nicks coffin was carried on the Stibbards 1930`s vintage lorry, it looked super!
On the day of my Husbands funeral, the chauffeurs and Pall bearers were
professional and so smart.
I want to thank you all at Stibbards and Sons for making my Husbands funeral such a beautiful day!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kind regards Mrs Michelle Ashley-James

Initially everything seemed daunting . Once the process started everything fell into place . The chapel of rest at Hadleigh so helpful kind and understanding .
The Conductor on the day of the service outstanding I can’t thank you enough .
We opted for the vintage funeral car which added a special touch for my loving husband .
Music arrangement and video
beautifully put together
Leah Foley was the Celebrant

Everything was so professional.
I had a little niggle at the beginning which I discussed with Wendy which she totally understood my concern and I was thankful for her listening to me .
Would definitely recommend

4 Roseann Didham 19th Dec 2023
Our family has been using Stibbards for over a hundred years and have always had a excellent service ..
The family where disappointed when we came to see Tony in the chapel of rest , as when discussing what he would be wearing and confirming he would have on his Chelsea cap . he did not have it on . I did receive an apology and was told it was in the coffin with him .
Also we were under the impression the route to the crematorium would go past the Woodcutters pub and pass his former home in Bellouse Lane , I believe it went passed the pub , but his neighbours have told me they waited for half hour from 2 oclock ,bit did not see the hearse go by . , so not sure what route the hearse took , it may well have gone earlier ? .
Overall we were satisfied with the arrangements made for our brother Tonys funeral .
Thank you
Roseann Didham
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Roseann, thank you for your invaluable feedback and taking the time to speak to me personally on the telephone. We are sorry for the small lapses in communication that meant the service for your Brother was not to our usual exemplary standard. We value your constructive comments and it is only by listening to our families that we are able to continually improve our service to offer the very highest standard of care. Kindest regards, Martin Stibbards. -
