5 Colin Barnett 15th Nov 2022
Stibbards looked after my Mother's funeral arrangement. Having never been through this before we were worried about organising all the various arrangements. We need not have worried. Stibbards were there to explain and take care of us and our mother every step of the way. The process was effortless (from our point of view) and the day of the service could not have been any better.
We can't recommend Stibbards highly enough for the respectful, helpful and proffesional service they provided. Nothing was too much trouble.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Colin, thank you for entrusting us was the arrangements for Mum's funeral, we are so pleased that everything went without a hitch abd you felt well supported and cared for. -

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.
NealeMartin Stibbards replied
Dear Neale, thank you for your very kind words, it was so lovely to be able to look after yourself, Mum and the rest of the family and I am so pleased that we served you well. I wish you all the very best for the future. Martin -

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 .Lee Marston replied
Dear John, Karen will be so pleased that you felt supported and cared for during the arrangements for your beloved Nan. We are so pleased that Scott and Laura were able
to conduct the send-off she deserved, and this will hopefully bring you comfort in the future
