We continue to provide care and support to our clients during a difficult time and exercise the utmost professionalism in helping them arrange a fitting tribute to their loved ones.

Our support starts from the very first phone call, and doesn’t stop once the funeral has passed🎩

We’re here for our families through every step of the journey, guiding them through the necessary processes, but also acting as a point of comfort, supporting them in their most challenging moments.

Our team of funeral consultants are always on-hand to answer any questions or queries that a family have, no matter how small they may seem at the time.

We pride ourselves on care, compassion and support in everything that we do.

Yesterday, we attended Remembrance Sunday services in our local areas to join the nation in a moment of stillness🌹

Today, we stand with our country’s heroes🥀

At 11:00am, we will we pause as a nation to honour all those who have served our country, this Remembrance Sunday.

We’ve seen an overwhelming show of support from the communities of Castle Point, Hockley and Southend for the 80th anniversary of World War II, and we wish to thank everyone who has contributed to these displays.

Introducing our new Winter attire🎩

With the colder months just around the corner, we have updated our uniform to further reflect the Stibbards brand and the level of detail that we provide to every family.

We have added gold piping to our funeral operative’s uniform, along with gold and burgundy detailing to our conductor’s top hat and overcoats, set with gold buttons to finish off the design.

With no detail overlooked, we remain smart and presentable on every funeral service that we are honoured to look after, something that is imperative to us at S. Stibbards & Sons.

We’re proud to have Poppy on display in our front window!❤️

Have you seen her when passing Weir View House?

Make sure to give her a wave👋

Who remembers Poppy? 🐧

This beautiful sculpture, symbolising remembrance and peace, found a very special home thanks to her sponsors, S. Stibbards and Sons. They loved her design so much that they bought her at auction that night!

Now, Poppy stands proudly in her new home, taking pride of place in the front display window at Weir House, right beside their vintage Austin Landaulette, Polly. ✨

Celebrating the life of a young man with vibrancy and personal touches🌈

At the crematorium, we were met with a colourful guard of honour, where Scott was accompanied by the father, helping lead his son on his final journey.

A truly touching and heartwarming tribute that we were honoured to be a part of, and proud to share with our audience with permission from the family🙏
