S. Stibbards & Sons, Shoeburyness

5 Dennis Harvey 16th May 2023

A company that believes in the family and gives support, help and advice in a very caring and dignified manner. This is sadly the sixth time, we as a family, have used their services and again they have not let us down. Thoroughly recommended. A big thank you to all of their caring staff.

5 Tony Elston 14th May 2023

Karen was lovely, she walked us through the whole process and made sure every need was catered for and everything ran smoothly on the day. Would wholly recommend. 

5 Richard Watts 13th May 2023

Caring but organised througout. Great communication and attention to detail whilst maintaining tact and thoughtfullness from start to finish.

5 Iris Horton 29th Apr 2023

I cannot recommend Karen Brodrick from Stibbard's Funeral Directors
highly enough.

She was kind calm compassionate and very knowledgeable.

She guided me through the organisation of our dear Ron's funeral.
with deceptive ease considering that at the moment I am,
'a one armed dyslexic technophobe.'
Her innate empathy and experience enabled her to help me to
precisely carry out Ron's wishes.

Karen was attentive throughout and so I knew what to expect and when.

I found her to be a truly lovely genuine lady and she has my family's and
my sincere thanks and deep gratitude for the peace of mind she brought
to us at this very difficult and sad time.

Kind regards
Iris Horton

Karen made the whole thing easier to get through, helpful and sympathetic and the guys on the day were faultless.

5 Robert Sanders 7th Apr 2023

Karen working in the Shoebury office was exceptional at helping us through a difficult and protracted time, her empathy and compassion really came through.

Scott and the chauffeur/pall bearers were also very warm and professional on the day of the ceremony.

5 David Glithero 6th Apr 2023

Although my late Uncle had requested a direct cremation the service proved by Stibbards to organise this was excellent.

5 Stephanie Wheeler 3rd Apr 2023

The staff were friendly and professional, answering any queries we had.  Our family felt very well supported by Stibbards, during the period of time when arranging the funeral and on the day of the funeral itself.  We would recommend S. Stibbards & Sons.

5 Carol Roberts 2nd Apr 2023

We can’t fault Stibbards good service and attention to detail from start to finish.
Karen was exemplary she was so patient kind and thoughtful.
Simon and the staff taking us to the crematorium could not be faulted 
Thank you very much 

5 Ian Flynn 25th Mar 2023

Stibbards attention to detail and reassuring professionalism throughout the process was incredible.

5 Heather Brown 6th Mar 2023

The service provided by Stibbards was excellent, from the first point of contact to the very end. They were sensitive, caring and supportive to the point that they all seemed like friends, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Karen at the Shoeburyness Branch was brilliant and I cannot recommend them highly enough. 

5 David Page 4th Mar 2023

Helpful, & an excellent friendly & respectful service provided by all the staff who assisted & helped with the funeral arrangements of my late Mother & the funeral itself.
Excellent all round & grateful to all concerned.

2 Graham Edwards 15th Dec 2022

I wasn't happy about all the mistakes so bad that I had to go to view him in the Chapel of rest to make sure it was Graham in the coffin. The last straw was when you put the wrong name on the obituary for the webcam information. As you can imagine the family are distraught and would like some compensation

5 Richard Deadman 22nd Nov 2022

From start to finish of my dads funeral and Cremation, Stibbards have been extremely professional and their online obituary service with donation facility is very helpful. I would highly recommend them.

5 Neale Safaty 8th Nov 2022

We interacted with two people at Stibbards,Martin,himself a Stibbard and Karen who dealt with customers at the Shoeburyness funeral home. Both were extremely sympathetic, compassionate and very professional. We were very impressed that Martin was able to visit our home on the day that I contacted them as my mother is very elderly and not particularly mobile.

The business has been in the Stibbards family for generations and one got the impression that the outstanding service was because the firm is independent and very experienced.However,it is also very much a twenty first century organisation and the experience with the website,donations and streaming was also very good.

Stibbards was recommended to us by more than one friend,we did not chance upon them with a google search. We will require funeral directors in the Southend area at some point in the future and most certainly will use them again. We felt that they went the extra mile with respect to advice and our requests. For example,at short notice, i.e.at the point that the hearse arrived at our home,Martin suggested and was able to organise streaming at the chapel, because my sister had fallen ill at the last minute and was unable to attend our father's service.

5 Jan Dipper 3rd Nov 2022

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your help, care, kindness, compassion & support through this very sad, difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble throughout this procedure.

The whole service on Wednesday was beautiful & immaculate from beginning to end, just like my Dad’s funeral 7 years ago (which you also did) & was delivered with professionalism, respect and dignity.

Kind regards
Jan, Jill & Carole ( Evelyn Stott's Daughters)

5 John Jackson 21st Oct 2022

My family and I could not have been more pleased with the way Stibbards looked after our Mum, 
From the first meeting I had with Karen throughout the whole process, including Scott who directed Mums transfer from the funeral home to the service. 
This is the first time I’ve had to arrange a funeral and it was stress free as far as the organisation was concerned.
Hats off to all at Stibbards , and a special mention for Laura Manvell who took the service, even calling to ask if there was a particular colour dress we’d like her to wear . 
You made what could have been a very distressing day ,into a celebration of my Mums life.
Thank you .

5 Nigel Salmon 2nd Oct 2022

Karen, Scott and all those behind the scenes made sure that everything was perfect for Mums send off. Nothing was too much trouble and the level of service was exceptional, making the day one to remember, for all the right reasons.

5 Stuart Goodwin 1st Oct 2022

I certainly chose the right Funeral Directors they were excellent. I cannot give them enough prise.

On their booklet that I received it states “Care, compassion and support in all we do”  That is so true.

From my first contact with them I could see that they cared and would support you through you sad loss.

Compassion they related to my sad loss of my Wife and they could not do enough to help me,

I cannot thank enough I know my late Wife would be proud of the care she received from them.
