I only had a direct cremation but everything appeared to be in order, carried out very efficiently and, fortunately without the usual mawkish sentiments that one usually comes across from everyone usually concerned with a funeral.

Jenny Guppy 24th Aug 2021

From the outset, outstanding service, care and attention were received from Stuart, Jo and Team. A truly first-class Funeral Director.

Amanda Way 24th Aug 2021

From the moment Stuart and Jo arrived at our house i felt comforted that they would take care of mum. They not only showed mum care and respect which was wonderful but they cared about us too. This has been hard but Stuart and Jo took a huge weight from my shoulders as I knew mum was in safe hands. Thank you both so much.

    Absolutely outstanding service and attention to detail . Nothing was too much trouble and made the whole process as smooth and thoughtful as could possibly be .

  • 5 Hazel Redgwick 16th Aug 2021

    When I met Stuart and his team I immediately felt that we were going to be very well looked after. Stuart and his team were all very easy to talk to and always happy to help with any enquiries.

    We were gently guided throughout the whole funeral process, with sensitive suggestions being made at the most appropriate times, which helped prepare my daughter and I for certain key points on the day of the funeral.

    Everything was very professionally done, and we were very well supported with useful guidance to help us with our decision making about the practicalities of the day.

    Stuart and his team certainly made a very stressful time so much easier to cope with.

  • 5 Robert Chapman 15th Aug 2021

    Stuart and his team have looked after and arranged the funerals of both my parents in the last 15 months. He has been sensitive, kind and efficient in all aspects of the service provided. I would highly recommend him to provide funeral services.

  • 5 Pam Moger 7th Jul 2021

    I cannot speak too highly of the way in which Stuart Foster funeral directors helped and guided me through the arrangements for my husbands funeral.
    The kindness and care that was extended to me during this very difficult time was outstanding. 
    Stuart,  in  particular, put so  much effort into arranging every detail and also went to extreme effort to make sure that my wishes were catered for in every way. He constantly put me at ease  through the whole  procedure.
    In short, I feel that I could not have put my husbands funeral in better hands.

    Heartfelt thanks for everything you did for me at such an emotional and difficult time.

    A truly first class service at all times. Very courteous and respectful at a very difficult time for which I am so grateful. My wishes and requests were dealt with immediately and I wouldn’t consider recommending anyone other than Stuart Foster Funeral Services simply because the service provided from start to finish was second to none.

  • 5 Jane White 10th May 2021

    Stuart was very professional yet friendly without being familiar and nothing was too much for him to offer. I was impressed that he asked if he might call my husband by his first name and didn't just do so automatically.Twenty four hour support and certainly in my case he went above and beyond what I could possibly have expected. I have already recommended home to friends. I trusted him totally. First class excellent service.

    Such an inspirational service that is miles apart from the usual stuffiness that I have previously associated with funerals.
