Stibbards - From the very start, so very helpful in their guidance, advice, service and attention to detail.  I would thoroughly recommend Stibbards to anyone having the desire to have their departed loved one treated with the respect and care they deserve - as well as the family -  and funeral guests in addition. They made the whole process so much easier than we expected it to be - true, caring professionals in every way. They took away some of the pain. Remarkable!!!! Our personal score - 100% +++

Ian Press 19th Sep 2019

They were absolutely brilliant from the moment we walked in until the time they dropped us at the wake. Everything went well, exactly as we planned and hoped for. Their recommendations for various things were all perfect as well. Can't praise them enough, they made the whole thing as good and easy as it could have been.

  • 5 Trudy Day 2nd Jun 2019

    Everyone we spoke to was very understanding and compassionate. The day of the funeral was conducted professionally and with sensitivity. Having someone we could liaise with in the lead up and on the day gave us confidence that arrangements would be as we wanted and indeed they were. Great people to deal with at an extremely emotional time. We the family thank them for all their support.

  • 5 Jonathan Scroxton 26th May 2019

    We had the daunting task of arranging mums (98) funeral with the added problem of dealing with a very distraught dad (95) who was too stressed to be of any help with decisions at this time. With fantastically sympathetic and helpful advice from our first call to Linda at Stibbards and then to our lengthy unrushed meeting with Robyn who not only steered us through the whole process with great professionalism but also a very kind and considerate approach. The day of the funeral whilst very  sad even at that ripe old age went extremely well with all members of the team helping every step of the way. Thank you Robyn you are an asset to the Stibbards brand and thankyou all at Stibbards. L.Scroxton

    We were ever so pleased with the care that was given to us as a family by Debbie at the Westcliff branch and the reassurance she gave as to our particular details. We have no hesitation in recommending her. Also to Stuart and the men on the day. They were particularly careful in all respects. Thanks very much from our family.

  • 5 Ruth Rodriguez 8th Nov 2018

    We were extremely happy with the service provided by Stibbards & sons Westcliff. Deborah was very helpful and understanding. She helped us with our requests and ideas at a very difficult time. The day of the funeral went perfectly. Simon and his colleagues did a wonderful job. We couldn't have asked for a better send off for our lovely Mum. Thank you all very much.

  • 5 Filomena Valente 22nd Oct 2018

    I cannot thank Stibbards & Sons enough for their professionalism, thoughtfulness and kindness. Debbie and the Pall Bearers were sensitive to our needs. They were like an extended family and we were confident that our mother was in good hands.


    Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
