I was delighted with the whole experience with Stibbards, from Louise who was my first contact and was so understanding, to Daniel who conducted the funeral and was extremely kind and caring. The care and help from the entire team made a difficult day that much easier. Thank you all.

A caring and thoroughly professional service from end to end. From our initial discussion onwards everything was made as easy as possible for us. Cars on time, good condition. The coffin, which was by no means expensive, looked excellent. The officiant proposed by the company was just what we needed. Those who came with the hearse made some helpful suggestions we'd not have thought of. All in all could be beaten in our view.

The caring team at S Stibbards & Sons understand that contacting a funeral director can seem daunting, but with over 150 years experience, they are there to listen, reassure and support families at this very difficult time.

As a funeral home with family values at its heart, its focus is upon providing compassionate funeral care to families in Hockley and the surrounding villages, including Foulness Island, at whatever time of day or night it is needed.

When it can be hard to focus on decision-making, it is the role of their caring team to listen and support families in a reassuring space where they can focus on their loved one.

S Stibbards & Sons’ Hockley funeral home provides a calm and tranquil atmosphere in which to make funeral arrangements. It has a private chapel of rest where you can spend precious time with your loved one, reassured that their funeral wishes are being taken care of.

Whether families prefer a full traditional funeral service, or a quiet farewell tailored to their needs, funeral director Martin Stibbards and his experienced staff aim to ensure that the arrangements fulfil every family’s wishes.

Stibbards offers a fleet of modern Jaguar hearses and limousines to ensure families and their loved one will travel in comfort, driven by their professional staff. Traditional horse-drawn hearses, vintage vehicles and other bespoke options can also be arranged.
