  • 5 Ian Wheeler 27th Oct 2020

    My sister and brother- in - law both felt Stuart had arranged the funeral exactly how his deceased mother, Hilda, would have wanted it conducted at the Crematorium. Stuart also dealt with the ashes internment, into her parents grave, at Merriott Church. 
    They both said Stuart had offered an excellent service in helping them deal with this loss, during the Covid 19 epidemic.
    Well done to him and his team.

  • 5 Tamzin Mitchell 27th Oct 2020

    A huge thank you to Stuart Foster Funeral Services Team for the organisation and personal touch when dealing with the passing of our Grandmother, even with the added difficulties of restrictions in place. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was explained with such compassion and empathy. She was treated with dignity by the team, as well as them considering the family and their needs at the same time so we would highly recommend them to all.

    Very helpful 

  • 5 George Kerswell 27th Oct 2020

    When dealing with Stuart you get the feeling that you are being advised by a friend rather than a professional.
    Jenny's funeral was kept very simple as requested yet felt extremely elegant.

    I have had no hesitation in advising family and friends to contact Stuart about any funeral arrangements that they may need

    Supportive, helpful, understanding, great guidance. Cannot imagine a better service at this time.

  • 5 Sue Fox 27th Oct 2020

    Stuart Foster is very caring special person.
     My late husband Kennith John Fox known as "Fred" to many people requested that Stuart arranged his funeral in 2018.
     Fred was able to meet Stuart when he became very poorly.
     Fred had already  mapped out how he would he would like Stuart to arrange his funeral. Not only Stuart carried Fred's instructions to the letter but also went above and beyond to make the service very special for us all and I cannot thank him enough for he did.
    Stuart is a credit to the families who he serves at a very emotional and sad time in our lives.
    Thank you Stuart.

    Thank you

  • 5 Linda Gill 27th Oct 2020

    Mr Foster is highly professional. When my mother passed away Mr Foster calmly reassured me and guided me each step of the way in making preparations for my mother's funeral. Every phone call I made was answered politely with total support. My mother's funeral was sensitively organised and went accordingly to how I wanted respect to be paid to my mother. I would highly recommend Mr. Stuart Foster to anyone who has suffered a loss. He has skills of patience , empathy and is dedicated to his role as an undertaker. Nothing is too much trouble for Mr Foster.

    Stuart made sure all our specific ideas were included in the service, and helped us make decisions when we felt we couldn't think clearly.  Stuart was so compassionate and between us we gave our Dad the most beautiful send off.  It was perfect and we will be eternally grateful.
