    Thank you to Peter, Heather and Stuart and all the team for their caring and considerate support.

    Apart from starting about 5 mins early, which meant there was not time to seat the deceased’s sister properly everything was excellent. Thank you for your care and attention.

  • 5 Melanie Burton 17th Oct 2018

    Very professional service could not fault the men or Wendy who helped arrange it all. Would recommend to friends and family.

  • 5 Julia Scholar 2nd Oct 2018

    From the moment we all stepped through the door at the Canvey Island Branch (without an appointment), we knew we were in the right place. We received a warm welcome from Wendy, who subsquently talked us through everything we needed to know and who made our mother's funeral the best it could be. She was always at the end of the phone, whenever we needed to ask a question.


    On the day, we felt like Stibbards were holding our hands and we knew we didn't have to worry about anything except saying goodbye to our mother and Jim's wife. We will miss her forever.


    Thank you to everyone, especially to Wendy and to Martin, who paid particular attention on the day to guiding us all, especially Jim, through a very hard day.
