4 Christine Nichols 25th Apr 2022
Unfortunately it is the third time I’ve had to organise a funeral. The first time we chose Stibbards as they can recommended to us and they handled our funeral arrangements both professionally, respectfully and caringly. So we had no reservations using them at our second funeral and again recently at our third for my mother. All the staff were amazing.
Lee Marston replied
Dear Christine, we are so pleased that Janice and the team were able to support and care for you as a family so well. 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 very kind expressions of gratitude -

5 Jacqui Dallimore 5th Apr 2022
We cannot thank you enough especially Janice for the kindness and support that you have shown throughout this whole heart-breaking process. The re assurance you would look after my mum made us all feel comforted. On the day of the funeral Stuart took full control, again with such kindness and empathy, nothing was to much trouble at all. A highly professional service which if you find yourself in this awful situation I could not recommend Sibbards enough . Thank you from Jacqui and all the Edwards Family.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Jacqui, we are so pleased that Janice, Stuart and the team were able to support and care for you as a family so well. 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 very kind expressions of gratitude. -
5 Caroline Ireson 31st Mar 2022
Wendy in the Hadleigh office managed my mother’s funeral, in March 2022, most efficiently and helpfully, all by telephone. My mother died out of area in Cheshire so Stibbards liaised with a funeral director up there and made the whole process seamless.
On the funeral day, the team was also superb: guiding us through and looking and being very professional.
We were very pleased with the whole service. Stibbards managed my father’s funeral 12 years ago and the service was as good this year as it was 12 years ago.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Caroline, thank you for your kind words and particular praise for Wendy. We are so pleased that the care you received met with your expectations and thank you for your continued support for our family run company. -

Went back too Stibbards &Son Canvey as they did such a great, professional and caring job. They have now dealt with my Nan and Granddad in the 70’s, my uncle in the 80’s and now my mum and dad. Thank you so much for all your help with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Dave, thank you to your family for continuing to put your trust in us to care for your family in such difficult times. We are truly grateful for your faith in us as a company and hope we have served you well. -

To Janice,
The difficulties I faced arranging a funeral for my precious son were made easier with your empathy, compassion and professionalism.
Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude for all that you have done for our family over the past few weeks. You showed humility, compassion and kindness at a time we really needed it and for this we will always be grateful. Thank you for guiding us through on the day. You went above and beyond to make my sons funeral perfect.
We are also very impressed with the quality of the recordings of the service and in these times it will be greatly valued by the family and friends.
With all our love and best wishes
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Justyna, thank you for taking the time to thank Janice for all the help and guidance she afforded to you in assisting you with the arrangements for your beloved son 'Kas'. I know that she will never forget you and your family and it was the greatest of privileges for her to be able to care for Kas whilst he was in her care. We all wish you the very best for the future and are always here if you need us. -
