Stibbards funeral directors went above and beyond with every request we had. Even under the limiting circumstances of the lockdown we were still able to give Colin the funeral he deserved. Stibbards are our family’s funeral choice and they treat us like family. Thank you one again to everyone at Stibbards who made that day possible.

  • 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.
