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. Pam Moger

    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.

    Stuart was first and foremost very kind and sympathetic. He was patient as we struggled to make decisions and guided us gently through the whole process. He explained the layout of the crematorium to reassure me and came up with lovely suggestions for the whole family. Mum would have approved. Would thoroughly recommend.

    Stuart Foster funeral services have been excellent during such a hard time. From the moment I first rang them, they have been wonderful. From being kept informed to making sure I knew they were there to help anyway they could. They made a very stressful time a little bit easier. Thank you!

  • 5 Neil Croft 5th Feb 2021

    We were dealt with gently and with such consideration as this is something done very few times in ones life it is unlikely we would have any understanding of the process. This is where Stuart was able to guide us through the necessary details and explain the options available to us. I cannot recommend Stuart and his company more highly.
