S. Stibbards & Sons, Hockley

4 Mark Roberts 16th Jul 2023

Stibbards / Diane at the Hockley office were central  to the success of my father Kenneth George Roberts funeral 11 July 2023 - service at St Peter and St Paul’s Hockley, burial at Hall Road cemetery Rochford. I include here the note I wrote to Diane / Stibbards the day after the funeral : 

Dear Diane,

Just to thank you for everything you and your team at Stibbards did in making dad’s funeral very special. All your work with mum and myself and indeed my sister and her son ahead of the day was superb.

I have to say the team of men led by the wonderful Scott on the day made what was a challenging day so much smoother and for me perfect. Everything was done very well and clearly Scott is the absolute perfectionist in his professionalism but was also very attentive to mum and the family.

So thank you to all at Stibbards helping in making dad’s funeral actually a very special day of mourning and celebration.

With Best Wish,

Mark

We cannot thank the staff of Stibbards enough for the compassion, care and respect they showed to our family throughout the arrangements of our dad/husband's funeral. They made a very difficult time a little easier to handle.

5 Coral Fry 24th May 2023

My family and I were very satisfied with the Stibbards service both before our mother's funeral and on the day of the funeral itself. Having met and spoken to various Stibbards' employees during this time I can honestly say they all acted in the most professional and reassuring way. We would like to thank Diane and David in particular for their care and support during this time. Many thanks.

From Coral on behalf of Ivy's family.

Thank you for making the funeral of my late father go so well. At a very difficult time, you made it so much easier for my mum and my family. The level of service provided by Diane was excellent and Scott (funeral director) made it so easy and personal on the day.

There did seem to be an issue with the link - some people found it difficult to log on . This did seem to be resolved. Our first choice of charity - The Brain Trust was apparently not available under the Funeral Guide and so the Brain Charity was used. The Brain Trust was excellent with the support it gave and so this was disappointing. We did ask and was told that the Brains Trust could not be used. Why? Other than the above the Funeral Guide worked well.

On the day outstanding service and attention to detail remarkable. But feel little let down leading up to funeral, was not kept updated and informed until couple of days before funeral with what was going on. But apart from that a great as possible under the circumstances experience.

Stibbards and Sons couldn’t have been more helpful at such a difficult time.  They listened to our wishes and explained all details that would take place very carefully, so that everything ran smoothly on the day.  It was a very simple funeral, as our wishes, but was carried out impeccably.
