We have unfortunately had the need to use Stibbards on several occasions. The service has always been helpful, professional and first class.

From start to finish the team were extremely professional, caring,kind, showed great empathy and gave us a funeral that our mum would have been proud of. Thanks go to Andrew, Louise, Rev John Standard, and Dan and his team on the day.

Louise and all at Stibbards were extremely helpful and caring at what was an obviously very upsetting time. Every detail was explained and clarified before gently moving forward, which was very reassuring as thinking clearly and sensibly didn't come easy at the time. They made a difficult situation an experience that was uncomplicated and beautifully executed throughout, which was very much appreciated by myself and all the family. Thank you.
