We were very happy with all aspects of the services we received. The assistance in the planning of the funeral and the way in which things were carried out, on the day itself, could not have been better.
Stibbards have our sincere thanks and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

To say my dad's funeral was a wonderful day seems strange to say but all thanks to Stibbards means that's exactly what it was. I genuinely don't think it could have gone any better and they are the most amazing people to deal with. Thank you Debbie for all you did and Scott for all you did on the day. You made a very sad day the most beautiful send off for my dad. I will be forever grateful x

We received a very professional service from everyone.
Wendy our arranger was very friendly and helpful arranging the cremation, she always returned calls and sorted any queries or problems and answered our many questions.
We were lucky to have a friendly face with Scott our Mr Top Hat who was respectful of our wishes and gave a great service. He knew my husband and so did Darren who was a friendly and caring driver.
Thank you all at Stibbards Rayleigh for making a very sad occasion the best it could possibly be.

From the initial phone call, right through to the end of the funeral service itself, there was always polite & professional advice readily available.
I would like to mention 2 of the staff who gave a very kind and compassionate service from start to finish.
1. Wendy. She took us through the whole procedure at our own pace, answering all the questions in detail. She was also on hand with a box of tissues and a lovely cup of coffee.
