5 Suzanne Rigden 20th Mar 2022
Once again, a very professional and caring and considerate funeral service. Four years ago Debbie at Stibbards in Leigh managed my Dad’s funeral and just recently Debbie managed my Mums. Every aspect was just right. I thoroughly recommend them as frankly their organisation and guidance was pivotal for the day - everything went as expected and I didn’t have to think about anything other than my family. Highly recommend.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Suzanne, we are so sorry that we have had to come into your life again. I hope that you felt reassured and cared for during the arrangements and Debbie provided a familiar friendly face at this difficult time. -

5 Christine Weekes 19th Mar 2022
I cannot put into words how beautiful Mum’s funeral was and that is in no small part down to the organisation, professionalism and support of you and your team throughout.
Thank you to Martin, Maria, Wendy and everyone who attended from the Stibbards. You made the process much easier to deal with, at what is a very difficult time.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. Mum would have been chuffed to bits.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Christine, thank you so much for taking the time to let us know your thoughts and for entrusting us with the care of your dearest Mum.

Maria, myself and all the team wish you all the very best for the future, best wishes Martin -

The entire team at Stibbards was fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly professional, kind, and patient. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they guided us expertly through the entire process. There were so many little touches and gestures that demonstrated their utter professionalism. Nothing but the highest praise.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Pat, thank you for your touching words which mean some much to us all here at Stibbards, we are so glad that we managed to look after you so well. -
5 Christina Hall 15th Mar 2022
We were very happy with Stibbards’ services for our Dad’s recent funeral. We used them for my Nan’s funeral many years ago, then for Mum’s funeral two years ago, so we were confident they would look after Dad well. David and Andrew (in the Hockley office) were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Scott, who was in charge of the funeral on the day, was so kind and made sure everything went smoothly - nothing was too much trouble. The small personal touches make a big difference - from the book of remembrance provided, to the memorial service held later on in the year. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stibbards.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Christina, thank you for putting your trust in us once again. We are so sorry that we have to come into your life at such difficult times but hope that you find comfort in knowing that we will always do all we can for you and care for your family. Thank you for your gracious comments. -

We cannot thank Stibbards enough for their professional kind compassionate energy in the organisation of my son Phoenix's funeral.
I was lost never having had to organise anything like this before yet their support helped my surviving son and i to organise the most personal and heartfelt celebration of Phoenix’s life .
At every point they were there for us supporting and advising and making our personal Touches come to life in the unique way that we needed it to be .
We did not have a large budget but it could not have been any more beautiful for our cherished son and brother.
We could not recommend Stibbards enough they are a truly amazing family company and they clearly understand the honouring of life in every aspect surrounding these tragic occasions.
We are so grateful that such a warm Company like this exists and cant praise them enough .
With love and thanks 🙏🏻

5 Amanda Maynard 15th Feb 2022
From start to finish David and his team were excellent, they dealt with us with sensitivity guiding us all the way through the process of arranging our fathers funeral. They really did gauge just right what support we needed and make some great suggestions to ensure that everything went smoothly on the day.
Scott was our conductor on the day, and he was fantastic, kept us informed what was going on, but also brought smiles to a very difficult day, with his caring manner. Arranging a funeral must be one of the hardest jobs for a family to do - doing it well when you are grieving felt initially like an impossible task - but I can honestly say we couldn't have done it without Stibbards. Unbelievably, I had so many family and friends say it was the best funeral they had ever been too!!! Thank you David and Scott and the whole Stibbards Team.Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Amanda, David and Scott will be so pleased that they were able to care for you and the family and make the service so special for you all. Your kind and thoughtful comments mean so much to us and are an endorsement of the values that we hold so dear. -
