What can I say, what a professional and sympathetic service , everything was taken care of from start to finish, Jo was absolutely amazing and was so kind hearted, she had all the time in the world for us and even had suggestions that we hadn't thought of. "Amazing" and although I hate to say it as feels a weird thing to say ...I would use there services again in a heart beat just hopefully not to soon. Thankyou Stuart and Jo xx

    I had never had to plan a funeral before and didn't know where to start. From the first meeting Stuart made us feel at ease. He was transparent with prices, communication was easy and he kept us fully informed at all times. My Mum was treated with dignity and respect at all times. Kind, caring and professional, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

    Dealing with Stuart was absolutely wonderful he made us all feel at ease and his service went above and beyond nothing was to much trouble for him so thank you Stuart for everything you’ve done and continue to do 

  • 5 Stephen Grinter 12th Jan 2021

    Stuart was courteous and professional throughout the whole process, which wasn’t made any easier by COVID restrictions. All arrangements had to be made remotely. Understanding our needs and making suggestions, he and his team took all of the stress and worry out of the process leading up to the funeral and were socially distant but always on hand if required on the day. Thoroughly recommended - thank you

    From our first meeting with Stuart, he was professional, welcoming, knowledgeable and informative, but also open to the ideas we had as a family.  Once booked, he kept in regular contact, answering our questions and being respectful, attentive and sensitive to our family's experience.

Stuart is a Funeral Director who can make this such a difficult time for family easier, he will look after you. There is no hidden cost. Stuart has done a lot to fulfil our wishes for our fathers final resting place, as he is keep saying he dose it because he cares and he really dose. Thank you again for everything X

  • 5 Sam Thorne 29th Oct 2020

    Stuart assisted me with a funeral for a family member recently. Its never a nice thing to do but Stuart was first class through out. He guided and helped me make the right decisions was caring, attentive and understanding. I really felt like Stuart and all at Stuart Foster Funeral Services understood me, my uncle and what we needed and wanted. Everything was as we discussed or better and all went without a hitch seamlessly due to their diligence and care, which really helps at a time like this. I couldn't recommended Stuart and his team enough and the costs were very reasonable and much cheaper than other more established and known local funeral directors who treated me more like another customer and a number, not an individual. Thanks Stuart and to all your team

  • 5 Kayleigh Barron 29th Oct 2020

    Stuart and his team were absolutely amazing, we honestly could not have wished for better. When my grandfather passed away, from the initial call to Stuart we felt at ease that we were in safe hands. He was always a phone call away to answer any questions at this difficult time. My family have all changed their wishes to go with stuart now so that they are reassured that we will be looked after. I have NO hesitation in recommending Stuart as a funeral director as his care and compassion is second to none during such a difficult time.
