Information clear, options explained. Key contact identified and every question or request answered promptly and/or accommodated. Most importantly all face to face communication was sensitive, while arrangements ran like clockwork on the day.  Thank to Martin and his wider team I could not have asked for more at this difficult time.

Nicole Edwards 20th Mar 2020

Very professional, empathetic and caring at an emotional time both when arranging the funeral and on the day. Always on hand by phone or email when needed.  Thank you

Roy Groom 8th Mar 2020

I cannot thank the people at stibbards for the caring and professional way that they made a very sad time in our lives as comforting as possible, would highly recommend them to anybody.

  • 5 Keith Payne 7th Feb 2020

    Stibbards were excellent from the initial meeting right the way through to the funeral. They kept in regular contact, checking that our wishes had not changed, confirming the arrangments and the exact timings for the day. The day the transport and the service went like clockwork. One particular nice touch was the drive along the seafront to the crematorium, so much beter than the main roads. They made a really nice day of such a sad occasion. Thank you.
