“We would like to thank everyone connected to cribbs. The hornchurch branch dealt with our bereavement professionally and with care.because of issues not related to the family they installed a password for security which was fantastic. On the day the funeral bearers were professional and smart and nothing was too much.they made the day run very smoothly a huge thankyou
To everyone.”
“Jason Amos, pursued a woman whist he was conducting at the funeral of her grandmother. Continually Contacting the woman after the funeral, tracking her down. This is totally unacceptable and very unprofessional for a funeral director. Not only bringing your company name down but the whole industry. The fact they are now an item is irrelevant, he was and will always be a predator to vulnerable grieving women .”
“A huge thank you for the smooth process of helping my husband return home. Your service is top-notch, and I appreciate your patience in explaining things and helping to relieve the stress involved.
A huge thank you to the Pallbearers and the head pallbearer as well who came for the funeral service.
Thank you Andre.”
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to T.CRIBBS team for the compassionate and professional service they provided during my mum's funeral on the 22nd May 2024, my apologies i am just getting around to leaving this message now but i have been in and out of hospital, my mum was my rock, and i really miss her so much,
from the moment we contacted and spoke with Mary at the Dalston Branch, she showed genuine care and understanding, guiding us through every step of the process with empathy and patience.
the attention to detail and the respect shown to us as a family during such a difficult time meant the worls to us. Mary handled everything with such dignity ensuring that we could focus on saying our goodbyes without any added stress. mary's support extended beyond just the arrangements, as she was always available to answer questions and offer reasurrance when needed. we as a family would highly recommend T.CRIBBS Dalston to anyone in need of such services. the whole team made a difficult experience more bearable, and for that we will always be grateful.
mary always gave us hugs, much appreciated.”
“We used Cribbs (Cranham Branch) for the first time on recommendation & were not disappointed. Everyone we dealt with was caring & personable and very professional. Jan who organised everything for my dad's funeral went above & beyond and Danny & his team were brilliant too. He phoned myself and my mum the day before the funeral to introduce himself & talk through what to expect on the day & even wore a red handkerchief to signify my dad's favourite football team, Arsenal.
Myself & my family cannot speak highly enough about all the staff who helped give my Dad the perfect send off that he deserved.”
“Disgusting treament of My Friend , refusing burial! Before getting gov help, which is not what was Said when booked, they lied and cause massive pain! Please use another Company and save the pain!”
“A big thank you to Cribbs from all our family, for the professional and kind funeral service which you organised for my husband. From Lisa at the Barking branch, to the ladies at Beckton who organised the service sheets, to Paul and his colleagues on the day - we really appreciated the fact that we could celebrate John's life without worrying about procedure, timing etc. Thank you all.”

“My sincere thanks to everyone at T Cribb for looking after us and ensuring we could give my mother a most dignified and well organised funeral. Special mention to Lisa and Danny who showed such deep compassion and respect for our loss but at the same time carried out their job professionally and with attention to detail. Thank you Lisa, Danny and all at T Cribb, your support and help during this most difficult time in my life is something I will always remember.”
“On behalf of myself and my family. I would like to thank T Cribbs & Sons for the professional and compassionate manner in which they arranged the repatriation of my Late brother from England to Portugal recently, a death in a family is ordinarily a sad occasion,However when it happens abroad it can be very confusing and daunting, the gave us on going support and arranged everything , and everything went like clockwork with updates on a regular basis, this lessened the worry and hurt, we will be forever grateful. A special thank you, to Andre and colleagues”
“I have had to organise a number of funerals and Cribs are the best funeral directors I have ever dealt with. They are professional, caring and cannot do enough to help you in a difficult time.
Firstly I’d like to comment on their customer service. It is fantastic, from the moment you contact them they take the pressure off. They listen to your requests and then take care of everything. John was so calm and helpful he organised everything we asked for and more. Dan and Ben were fantastic as was Catherine in the office.
Secondly I’d like to comment on the facilities. We used the chapel in Beckton for the service and also the hospitality room next door for the wake. We had people travelling from all over the country and this was a great option. The reception area, where you gather before the service, is beautiful with large leather sofas. The chapel is light, airy and modern. All musics request and webcam services were available. When the service was over we walked straight into the hospitality room. Tracey had organised the food and drinks. It was amazing, with poached salmon, home roasted beef, salads, fruit etc. everyone talked about the quality of food and service.
Thirdly I’d comment on the location. London is not the easiest place to drive around. The Beckton chapel is directly opposite a DLR station so people can come by train/ tube. There is also ample parking for those wanting to drive.
Fourthly I’d like to finally comment on the costs. They are very reasonable in pricing. I was expecting a far bigger bill.
In summary Crib are an amazing funeral directors who care, don’t over charge and help support families, whilst giving your loved one the best send off ever.”
“This was the 3rd time of using Cribbs and just when you think that nothing could improve on the previous funerals, along comes Marcus.
From phoning the night before my Brothers funeral to reassuring me thru a number of phone calls due to the horrific journey. Marcus walked me in on his arm leading the hearse to the crem. What a moving and beautiful touch. Marcus was so good and controlled the rather large gathering of friends and family. Revd Derek was superb, recommended by Dan Mayer. . It was perfect in every way, from the first point of call to Marcus checking i got home ok. That's why you're the best in your field. Thank you”
“Cribbs Pitsea office looked after my father in law who died suddenly recently.
The staff were brilliant, dealing with us with compassion and unfailing professionalism.
Nothing was to much trouble and their attention to detail second to none.
We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Thank you everyone
Steve (& Lorraine )”
“My uncle passed suddenly during a tour in London and my aunt, who was there with him, could not find any better option for his final wishes overseas. The rest of the family back here in Mexico was quite worried for the process, however we found the service relieving. I would like to thank the T. Cribs & Sons team for all the help and caring provided during this difficult time. The attention was very effective, thank you Andre Nascimiento for everything. My family and I hope that your excellent work comes back as countless blessings to you.”
“I am leaving this review because this is now the 3rd time in 28 years I have used Cribbs .I cannot thank them enough. The most recent time I used them was over the last 2 weeks ,the Dalston branch .Mary was our lady who took care of us .She was the most kind , gentle , open, honest, helpful , empathetic person to have around us at our time of grief , loss,shock. Mary made the whole process a gentle time .She never asked us to stop asking the many questions we had. Her hugs were needed and we felt so safe leaving our friend in her care .While we were waiting to go in to see him , she went to check on him and we heard her say Goodmorning to him , as if he was asleep . He looked so well and had been cared for so kindly .I have found this personal touch with all 3 funerals over the last 28 years with Cribbs .We also went to Beckton to sort out the orders of service , the 2 young ladies were so helpful and patient with us .No one was ever rushing us .We met Marcus who had done our other 2 funerals ,sadly wasn't able to do this one ,already been asked for again , but he still came to say hello to us .We had Toppy as our lead on the day .A wonderful balance of empathy , leadership and direction for us all , and gentle humour; much needed for us at the time as it was wonderful to hear laughter with us , Toppy and Mary , on a difficult day. We were put at ease and Mary and Toppy felt like part of the family and friends because of this.The orders of service were lovely , the staff let us choose everything we wanted and they sorted out our music we had chosen .These undertakers -Cribbs -are devoted to the people in their care - dead or alive .I know it is a vocation , not everyone could do their job . But I do hope they get the recognition they deserve .So that's the customer service ! The funeral was the price we had estimated .The quality of everything was perfect , no shardy offices , viewing rooms etc.All clean and fresh .Thankyou so much Mary and Toppy for making our journey peaceful and respectful.I hope we don't have to for a long time , but Cribbs are who we will always use.So please don't ever change yourselves . Thank you xx”
