"Top level professionalism from Scott and his team. Very easy to work with and very sensitive and professional at the service. Ours was a dearly departed family member and couldn't have wished for more."
— Fizz Disco (about Scott)
"They made a difficult time much easier. I felt they treated us and our loved one with respect and consideration. The actual day of the funeral ran like clockwork."
— Abigail Evans (about Janice)
"From our first meeting till the funeral my family were offered support and compassion. Every detail checked and agreed. David was able to tell those present about mum and her life with care and endearment."
— Linda Donlan (about Janice)
"I previously used the Coop in Leigh for my father and it felt like I was being sold double glazing. Stibbards in Southend was completely different — Debbie runs this branch and we could not believe how good the service was we received. Everything was perfect."
