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.

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

  • 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

    Jo was so kind and understanding and helped make things a bit easter for me and the  family, for which we are very grateful.  My Mum got everything she wanted for her funeral and would have been pleased with how things went. The whole service from Stuart Foster Funeral Services was respectful and organised.

  • 5 Pam Jarvis 13th Jan 2024

    Stuart Foster funeral Services are the best. My friend/love one was placed in their care and they looked after him with the utmost dignity and respect. From the moment I made my first call to them, Ellie made me feel at ease. What a truly amazing young lady. Nothing was too much trouble, she was always only a phone call away for me checked in on me, advised, supported and guided me through the 'process' of saying goodbye to my loved one. Stuart was also very kind and supportive just as Ellie was, he did not mind taking a phone call 'out of hours' one evening when I was really upset and worried over something to do with some arrangements I had planned. His first kind words were don't "worry poppet", which put me at ease straight away and I was so thankful, for when we met for another chat at his funeral home the very next day putting every thing right again.
    My special thanks also goes to out to the lovely Antonio for giving a beautiful service about him. I'm eternally grateful to you all and would highly recommend you to everyone.

    Stuart Foster replied
    Dear Pam, thank you for entrusting us to take care of you all and James, it has been an honour. Also, thank you for taking your time to leave a review of our services, we really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Kindest regards Stuart and the team.
