I would like to thank Kate in the Shoebury office for her kindness and a special thank you to Scott for making a difficult day a little easier 

Judith Puddick 24th Feb 2020

Everyone has been kind and caring and helped to ensure that John's funeral ran smoothly. The organisation of the vast crowd of people who attended the church service was exceptional.  Pre funeral care was excellent and well managed making what was a difficult and painful experience for the family as easy as possible. The counselling service has been and continues to be a great help in coming to terms with the bereavement. Thank you all very much.

About Us

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 Shoeburyness 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’ Shoeburyness funeral home was fully refurbished in 2003, and provides a calm and tranquil atmosphere in which to make funeral arrangements. It is fully accessible to wheelchair users, and has a private chapel of rest where families can spend precious time with their loved one, reassured that their funeral wishes are being taken care of. Should you prefer support in more familiar surroundings, a home visit can be arranged.

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.

S Stibbards & Sons is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Homes Association (SAIF) and meets the high standards set by both.

It offers Golden Charter funeral plans to those who are considering the future, while as part of its support for families, it offers in-house bereavement counselling.

    We cannot speak highly enough of the care,  sensitivity, kindness and professionalism of yourselves.

  • 5 Sarah Percival 21st Feb 2020

    Cannot fault Stibbards on their outstanding service. From Kate who was so understanding and helpful with all the arrangements to Scott and his team on the day who were discreet, respectful and completely professional. Communication was excellent and everything was taken care of efficiently. We really felt that we were in the hands of experts.
    The funeral was exactly as we wanted it to be, Peter Holmes the celebrant arranged by Stibbards was wonderful.
    We didn't need to think about anything and the only way I can describe it is that it felt like we were gently carried through the entire process from start to finish.
    They made a difficult time and situation as easy as it could be and we would without hesitation, highly recommend.
    Many, many thanks to all involved.

    We approached several funeral directors after my sister died, and found everyone at Stibbards were very helpful, explained all the options available, which made us chose them.
    They did not disappoint us, as all the arrangements prior to the funeral were handled very well and the funeral itself went smoothly.

    All went well as one would expect, but we did arrive at the crematorium a little early which did cause a hiccup with a minority.
