Lisa in the Canvey branch has been exceptionally helpful and always there for us.  My only negative comment would be about the webcast. We paid extra for this because friends and family were not allowed to come to the funeral. The quality was not very good at all and the whole thing froze half way through. Lisa is trying to help us get a recording but this was very frustrating and disappointing especially for Paulines close family.

S. Stibbards & Sons, Canvey Island have provided the highest standard service and in particular Lisa has shown kindness and professionalism from start to end. Thank you for ensuring everything run smoothly.

Karen Ward 27th Apr 2020

I just wanted to send the biggest, heartfelt thanks to all the staff there at Stibbards. To say you done my dad proud is an understatement in these very difficult circumstances at present. My mum felt overwhelmed by the send off he received at Kings & to take a single rose from my mums floral heart & lay it on her windowsill was a beautiful thought.  You have been so caring & considerate throughout. Thank you again Karen Ward & family

    Very professional and caring in these strange times and even though we were restricted in what we could have and do we still felt Keith was given an excellent funeral.  The funeral service itself was beautiful.
    Lisa especially was caring and helpful throughout the whole process and nothing was too much bother.
    Thank you for making an awful situation for us bearable.

    They were absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end! They made us as a family feel so at ease and supported us every step of the way. They were there for any questions we had and were only a phone call away, even if it was just to chat. They made a hard situation easier to cope with and I couldn’t fault anything they did. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is considering going there, you would not be disappointed

    Stibbards were incredibly helpful and professional throughout arranging my dads funeral.

    Lisa was on hand to answer questions and help whenever I needed and chose the lovely Emma Walker to take the service which was an excellent choice.

    The drivers on the day of the funeral were very professional and were also very helpful when sorting pall bearers etc.

    I would definitely recommend Stibbards as they made what is a hard time go as smooth as possible.
