As a family we have now used Stuart Foster Funerals on two occasion, both experiences were filled with professionalism, compassion and space to remember the good times. We had unique elements of each service, Stuart and his team were always happy to help, nothing was too much trouble. We received a first class service, and would certainly use them again.

  • 5 Ann Osmond 21st Sep 2024

    Tom was amazing from the moment he walked through our door after our Dad passed, nothing was to much trouble. He heard all our wishes which enabled us to make Dads funeral bespoke to him and create a celebration of his life that made his friends and family smile. Thank for making the journey easier, we will always appreciate your kindness and compassion!

    I cant thank them enough.

  • 5 Derek Brodrick 10th Sep 2024

    Tom was most helpful and considerate at a very difficult time for the family. We would certainly recommend Stuart Foster to anyone looking for a very professional but also caring service.

  • 5 Pauline Booth 3rd Sep 2024

    The service I received was excellent, I couldn't fault anything, the team were attentive to all requirements, and very helpful especially with having a short turnaround, It was Alun Smiths first and he was fantastic I would highly recommend them

  • 5 Angela Hutchinson 7th Aug 2024

    Stuart Fosters Funeral Services were the biggest saving grace in what is/was an unexpected and traumatic period of time within our families lives. As stated they are personal, caring, perfessional, which collectively has eased as smoothly as a family to peacefully move forward to living without our loved one.

  • 5 Janine Hawkins 21st Jul 2024

    Jo and Alun were amazing, they looked after us from start to finish and made a very difficult time bearable. Their empathy, kindness and professionalism were second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

  • 5 Tracey Burnett 19th Jul 2024

    lovely people to deal with and made the whole process very easy and nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 SANDRA KILCOMMONS 11th Jul 2024

    The funeral director who was involved with my husband's direct cremation was very professional but also sympathetic and kind. Just a great guy and I was fortunate to be assigned to him. His name is Tom Richards.

  • 5 ELIZABETH SPRANKLING 10th Jul 2024

    We chose the intimate ceremony as dad was not very religious, the staff at Stuart Fosters went above and beyond from start to finish, they took all the worry out of a very difficult time and we can’t thank them enough, we were all handled with the upmost of respect and dad was treated with dignity throughout, would highly recommend 

  • 5 JANET ENGLISH 9th Jul 2024

    From the moment I got involved with Stuart Foster Funeral services, I knew I had made the right choice. Jo and all the staff were amazing. They oozed empathy understanding and total professionalism in everything they did. Nothing was too much trouble and although they organised everything for me I was always consulted to ensure I got what Malcolm and I wanted. I had lunch with a friend today and as soon as I named the funeral directors I had used she commented on how wonderful you are, so it is not just me who thinks you are the best. It was lovely that as I left with Malcolm’s ashes I was told that I was now one of the family and was welcome to pop in at any time if I needed a moment of reflection. Grief is a strange and personal emotion that affects everyone in different ways and it is obvious that the company is well aware of this.
    Thank you again for everything you did for Malcolm and myself during this difficult time.

    I don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are to Stuart, Ellie & the rest of the team for all their love & support during the most difficult time.

  • 5 JOHN BINDING 9th Jul 2024

    Outstanding from start to finish. Very professional, understanding and caring. They did my Dad proud.

  • 5 WENDY BEVAN-MOG 9th Jul 2024

    Stuart Foster's were great from the moment I stepped in without an appointment the day after Mum died. The whole team looked after me very well, getting the tone just right. I had to make all of the decisions alone and they, Tom especially, helped where appropriate. On the day itself they did everything just right. The casket and flowers looked great, they treated everyone with respect and compassion and. importantly to our family, also a bit of humour. I am very grateful to their whole team for looking after us all so well.

  • 5 VALERIE MORSE 9th Jul 2024

    Very personable staff. Barry  had a direct cremation and our wishes for him were fulfilled with great care. 
    Excellent service. 

  • 5 Shane Wood 8th Jun 2024

  • 5 Andy Baker 7th Jun 2024

    Stuart foster were excellent start to finish, their team are amazing and I cant fault anything about them -

  • 5 Suzi Othen 7th Jun 2024

    The service has been exemplary, all the staff have been extremely friendly and accommodating in such a stressful time. Respect and care that was taking with my dad and our family was 2nd to none. The patience that they gave to my mum and ourselves whilst choosing flowers photos and the order of service through a couple of changes was amazing, and made the whole process very easy for us.

    I could not recommend them enough.

  • 5 Julia Moldram 21st May 2024

    Stuart and his team provided us with exemplary support, guidance and care at such a difficult and emotional time.

    We had no doubts that our beloved mum was in very safe, professional and caring hands.

    Thank you Stuart, for sharing your compassion and humour in equal measures.

    I thoroughly recommend your services. Thanks again x
