— David Bowes (about David, Scott, Nikki)

"Becca and the team were always on hand to guide us and deal with any enquiries; they helped make a very sad time more bearable. The sensitive, respectful and caring way they dealt with our dear mum meant so much to us."

— Tracey Thomson (about Becca)

"From our very first meeting with David at Hadleigh, we felt reassured and at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and someone was always available to answer any questions or alleviate any concerns. On the day of the funeral itself, Lee and the team looked after us with such care and were a great comfort to us all."

— Susan Grant (about David, Lee)

"As a member of the clergy who has dealt with many funeral directors, I can honestly say that Stibbards are the best and most caring of all. The quality, professionalism and dedication to each element of my mother's funeral was outstanding."

— Paul David Ridley

"So Impressed with the service we received from the minute we arrived. Leo was outstanding from the initial arrangements to the chapel visits and the day itself, nothing was ever too much. Stuart on the day was equally as good making contact before to make sure all our wishes were seen to. Thank you Leo, Stuart and John for your professionalism and caring nature in making our Daughter's final journey memorable."

— Dave Gaffney (about Leo, Stuart, John)
