I did find returning of phone calls when making enquiries a bit slack,  otherwise everything else was very very good. My Mum looked wonderful in the Chapel of Rest. She looked peaceful and well presented. The services on the day were absolutely fantastic, very thoughtful and professional. The staff on the day were fabulous.  Her basket coffin was beautiful and well made and Stibbards acted out all Instructions for the afternoon and service. Would definitely use them again.

Stibbards' arrangement of my late uncle's funeral was excellent in all aspects. Communication was excellent at all times. The funeral last Friday ran very smoothly and I appreciate the role Stibbards played in achieving this.

I cannot express deeply enough the excellence of this Funeral Directors. Our mother died whilst living in Essex surprisingly and we live in Heathrow. Therefore it was not an easy funeral to sort with both of us having demanding jobs. However Kate, in the Southend office was beyond diligent to deeply caring, professional, clear in communication and just a lovely lady providing a superb service. I am a minister of Religion and in my 30 years of ministry these are the best Funeral Directors I have ever worked with. They not only informed you what was going on - they told you when they could not proceed with issues and why. I cannot say thank you enough or rate them highly enough. Superb! In our darkest moment you were a light to guide our path - thank you so much.

5 Sonia Poundes 2nd May 2021

I can’t recommend them highly enough. From first contact they were respectful, professional and sympathetic. They helped us to arrange all the small details, including printing out our photo for the service, and made a stressful time slightly more bearable. The cars arrived on time, the drivers were calm and respectful and waited patiently for us to chat with guests after the service before driving us home. They even loaded the floral tributes into the car, then laid them out on the front lawn for us at home. I can’t fault them at all. Very professional and caring service.

Thank you again both. Dawn Evans

Stibbards provided excellent service throughout the whole funeral process. They kept us in touch and were so helpful at a very difficult time. I could also talk to them on the phone without hesitation and they put us in touch with the Minister who was also excellent. The visit to the Chapel of Rest was dignified, calm and reassuring. Thank you Debbie, Reverend Phil and the other staff for making my dad`s funeral a celebration of his life.
