Thank You Debbie for making us feel so proud at the send off we gave for my Dad, the whole experience was beyond my expectations and was so smoothly executed. All staff were so professional. We will be recommending you to family and friends if needed.

    Once again, a very professional and caring and considerate funeral service. Four years ago Debbie at Stibbards in Leigh managed my Dad’s funeral and just recently Debbie managed my Mums. Every aspect was just right. I thoroughly recommend them as frankly their organisation and guidance was pivotal for the day - everything went as expected and I didn’t have to think about anything other than my family.  Highly recommend. 

    Martin Stibbards replied
    Dear Suzanne, we are so sorry that we have had to come into your life again. I hope that you felt reassured and cared for during the arrangements and Debbie provided a familiar friendly face at this difficult time.
