5 Andrew Hobson 23rd Oct 2023
I had quite a difficult funeral to organise. I live a long way from Southend, the Church had no incumbent, so everything had to be done by telephone and email. Janice at Stibbards was wonderful in sorting things out for me. On the day we had a considerable delay as one key mourner had got lost and the team attending the funeral took this in good part. We ended with a dignified send off for my aged relative and everybody including me was very pleased. Thank you Stibbards, and especially thank you Janice.
Lee Marston replied

I know that we have cared for your family on a number of occasions, and we hope that the knowledge that your loved one and your family are being looked after so well brings you great comfort. Thank you for your truly kind expressions of gratitude. -

Thankyou to Stibbards for a everything to do with my dad’s funeral, the service you provided was amazing, from Wendy dealing with us in the 1st place , to David keeping in touch with me regarding any other information & Simon on the day of the funeral,
Would recommend you guys anytime , it’s shame that my wife & I have already paid for Pure Cremation on our deaths .Lee Marston replied
Dear Mark, Dear Christine, I am so pleased that Wendy, David, Simon and the team took such diligent care of you and the family and you felt that the service was a reflection of your wishes.
with regards to Pure Cremation we are always happy to assist you in transferring those plans to a more local direct cremation with us, please contact us if you feel that is right for you. -
5 Heather Cloves 20th Oct 2023
Stibbards have been excellent . The gentleman who came to collect my dad , went through the process and gave us time to say goodbye . When we rang their head office to ask what happens , as we haven’t had to this before , there were always happy to go through everything they do. Debbie at the Leigh office when planning the Funeral was so helpful and also when visiting him, explained what to expect and gave us time to say our goodbyes. She has been very supportive. My family where happy with their service .

5 Peter Dowsett 15th Oct 2023
The service and guidance we received from Stibbards, and Janice in particular, was first class. They were very open and informative regarding what was available and the individual costs. They took away much of the stress at a very difficult time and I can't think of any way that the service could have been improved.They helped us insure that the send off of our loved one was the best we could do.
Lee Marston replied
Dear Peter, thank you for your kind sentiments and praise for Janice. I am so pleased that she was able to support you during the arrangements and ease your burden -

This is the 5th time I have used Stibbards and at all times have found them able to accommodate our family wishes at all time.
The staff at Shoeburyness as well as the MC’s have been second to none and are able to go above and beyond to meet our needs and wishes.
I would recommend them to anyone.
Many thanks again for your help and support in this difficult time.Lee Marston replied
