5 Jacqueline Smith 13th Apr 2021
All aspects of administration for the funeral (cremation) were dealt with promptly, efficiently and yet with a friendly and professional way. On the day itself Daniel the conductor was the epitome of calm and reassurance yet under stated-perfect.
Lee Marston replied
We are so pleased, that Daniel and the rest of the team were able to provide a fitting farewell for Smut and you as a family were well looked after. -
5 Lorraine Cuthbertson 13th Apr 2021
Stibbards couldn’t have done any more for us. They took care of my dad when he passed and had absolutely no hesitation in using Stibbards when mum left us so soon after.

3 Nick Almond 16th Apr 2021
They are a very friendly team of people when you speak to any of them, and the reason I have only given 3 starts is because there were a few items that took a couple of phone calls to rectify amendments. Example I called to ask for the ashes to be left at the crematorium which was a change to original plan but the message never made it through to right people. This sort of thing happened 3 or 4 times during the period of dealing with my mothers funeral. During this period you don’t want to have to chase people.
Martin Stibbards replied
Dear Nick, thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback and taking the time to speak to me personally on the telephone. I am pleased that overall the arrangements were to your satisfaction but am sorry that our communication to you was not to your expectations. I have taken your comments on board and will use them to positively improve our service in the future. We always appreciate the opportunity to improve our services and this can only happen if we listen to our clients. Warm regards, Martin Stibbards -
5 James White 11th Apr 2021

Dear James, thank you for taking the time to comment on our service to you, I am so pleased that Dad's funeral was the tribute to his life that you planned. Kind regards, Martin Stibbards -
