Stuart and his team were totally professional in everything they did. People who attended the funeral made comments after the funeral about how well it was all conducted by Stuart and his team. Many thanks Stuart.

5 Wendy Allen 15th Apr 2022

Thank you so much Stuart and Team for your care and consideration you gave to both my late father and to us his family. From the moment I picked up the phone to ask if you could help us I felt confident all would be well - and it was better than that- simply superb.

5 Keren Hobbs 15th Apr 2022

I can't express how thoughtful Stuart was at a very sad time. He was compassionate and understanding, I never felt rushed. The whole team are amazing and my gran was totally looked after and cared for.
Thankyou

Stuart provided an excellent service at a difficult time. Supportive yet unobtrusive, he has an excellent eye for detail and understood the family’s requirement well and duly provided an intimate family service tailored to our wishes.

5 Tina Hallett 23rd Apr 2022

Dear Stuart
A huge Thankyou for the wonderful way in which you and your team not only looked after Dad but was there for us every step of the way too. You handled Dads cremation followed by the interment of his ashes in with mum so perfectly. You have been so professional, considerate and comforting, taking away so many of our worries at such a difficult time. You organised everything, enabling us to focus on Dads passing. 
It really did make a tremendous difference to our family that we were all being looked after by someone with genuine integrity and humanity.
Please could you also pass on our gratitude to the rest of your team.
All our very best wishes
Tina, Stephen, Karen Tracy and the rest of our family x

I really cannot imagine a better funeral company exists. Friendly, caring, compassionate and honest throughout.

Stuart and his team have been exceptional from the first time we spoke the morning after my wife aged 42 died at home. Having 3 children at home, he made sure to advocate for them and their needs during the planning and during the funeral which was such a big help when grieving.

Costs are transparent and explained, with 'all in' funeral packages to choose so you know the costs upfront. Nothing is hidden or added without your knowledge and agreement. When grieving, being able to trust somebody to look after your loved one, and you, is so important.

Nothing was too much trouble and he was a call away and more than happy to meet me at home or in the office, whichever worked best for me, as well as over email and whatsapp if preferred.

I was blown away by the order of service. He designed a bespoke version based on things my wife loved (for free) and the quality of the design and printing with multiple pages and photos was just perfect.

Nobody enjoys a funeral, but from the wonderful celebrant (Sue Huggins), the readings by our friend Lisa, the music and the care and attention of Stuart and his team made the day as good as it could possibly be.

I was overwhelmed by how many of the people attending went out of their way to tell me how it was the most beautiful and wonderful funeral they had been to. This is in no small part due to Stuart's guidance and support throughout.

His aftercare is also brilliant, popping around for a chat and to check that I was okay and if I needed any support a few days after the funeral, and to remind me they were still there if I needed anything.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stuart to anyone.

5 Mark Hodges 31st May 2022

We truly couldn’t recommend Stuart enough. Stuart and his team were impeccable so professional at what they do a very supportive team with hearts of gold. 

5 Heidi Foot 31st May 2022

Stuart and team were fantastic from the start. My Stepfather planned his funeral 18 months prior to his passing. Stuart was extremely understanding, patient and sensitive whilst talking to my him and taking his wishes.
 After Ken’s passing, my Mother and myself dealt with Stuart and his team who I can only describe as fantastic. Nothing was ever too much trouble, from us changing our minds on things to them being at the end of the phone. A service like no other. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart & team, a team that simply go above & beyond. 

5 Nigel Robert Fowler 31st May 2022

Could not have imagined how difficult this would have been with out the kind,honest,respectful
and professional advice and help Stuart and his team provided. I couldn't thank them enough for helping me and my family

5 Christine Humphries 31st May 2022

Amazing service, fantastic support given throughout from beginning to end. We couldn’t have asked for better send off for my uncle. Stuart, knew exactly the right things to say to my aunt & managed our expectations beautifully & guided us through the service with heartfelt compassion. We really couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you so much. Nicola.

5 Joseph Farndon 1st Jun 2022

Both Stuart and his team did everything they could to make 
This sad time bearable for myself and my family.

5 Ken Court 1st Jun 2022

I was very pleased with the way Stuart handled The burial of my dear wife it was all carried out with dignity and love and I would like to thank your colleagues for their kindness in making this day A lot easier for me. Thank you very much Ken Court.

5 Audrey Borland 7th Jun 2022

From start to finish I knew I was in safe knowledge hands.It is a difficult bewildering time and Stuart plus the team supported and listened taking things at our own pace.
It was a great comfort to see the care taken of deceased and a special moment visiting the Chapel Of Rest, a difficult time turned into a beautiful moment.
I thank the team for everything and would highly recommend using these services.

5 Heather Emmonds 8th Jun 2022

My family and I couldn’t fault the excellent service we received from Stuart and his team.  Nothing was too much trouble and we were treated with kindness and compassion.
We certainly would recommend him to anyone in the future.

5 Nicola Milnes 12th Jun 2022

It has taken me a minute to write this review, simply because there is truly no words or enough times we can say thank you that will ever express how grateful my family and myself are for the amazing care and support we have received from Stuart and his lovely team, after my brother Dean passed away suddenly.
Having known Stuart on a personal level for many many years, there was no question as to who we would be entrusting the care of our beautiful Dean.
Stuart and his team made such a sad time that little bit easier, they went above and beyond, although they won't see it as this, as to them caring for Dean comes so natural to them they do it with so much love and passion, we as a family have felt this throughout every step of our journey. Unfortunately as sad as it may be death is a part of life and I could not recommend Stuart and his team enough, if you are ever in the position where you need their services, I could not recommend a better team to assist you at this sad time.
I believe our journey of grief has been made that little bit easier having Stuart, Jo and Sue by our side every step of the way.
A friend asked me how did the funeral go? Without hesitation I said it was beautiful,amazing. And that is mostly down to Stuart and his team. As a family we will be forever grateful to them.

5 Antonia Dowden 13th Jun 2022

We held a lovely non-religious service dedicated to my dear sister in Stuarts Chapel of Rest....it was perfect in every way.
I knew when I first met Stuart that he understood what I wanted for my sister and would make the service right for her.... that he certainly did! The celebrant he chose to hold the service Antonia was just so perfect. I am eternally grateful for Stuart and Antonia's support and for making the service so special. Thankyou

5 Kayleigh Swann 15th Jun 2022

Stuart and his team were absolutely fantastic, from the moment I rang to enquire up til our Dad's funeral. I never expected so much care, thought and support leading up to our Dads funeral, let alone afterwards. Stuart really is a wonderful man and such a credit to his profession. Thank you for making this process that little bit easier.

5 Valerie Davies 23rd Jun 2022

Stuart and his team were extremely kind and caring. They guided us through this very sad time with thoughtfulness and compassion. Any queries we raised were answered thoroughly and honestly. Definitely a 5 star plus service.

5 James Kaye 24th Jun 2022

Right from the start Stuart and the team were professional, friendly and caring. At such a difficult time, they listened to our wishes and ultimately ensured our father received a wonderfully personal and fitting service. We could not have asked for more. 

5 Emma Greaves 29th Jun 2022

Everyone at Stuart Fosters has been amazing!! They are so supportive, caring and always on hand if you need them. My Mum only passed away last year,  Stuart and his team looked after her and we’re so wonderful, when my Dad passed recently there was no question as to who I wanted to look after him.  Just can’t thank them enough x

5 Amy Wintle 5th Jul 2022

Cannot thank Stuart and the team enough for arranging my father's funeral on what was quite a short time.
Stuart showed such kindness and compassion throughout the arrangements and nothing was too much trouble for him.
I will be forever grateful to Stuart and his team for the amazing service they gave during the hardest time in my life.

5 Alexandra Joanes 11th Jul 2022

I wanted a very traditional funeral for my husband and Stuart and his team delivered exactly what I asked for. Every care was taken to keep me reassured throughout the process and on the day of the funeral. All recommendations regarding flowers and the celebrant were perfect. And the orders of service were produced in accordance with my requests, including several alterations, and were of a very high standard and quality.

5 Philip Vose 12th Jul 2022

A caring, professional, supportive service from Stuart. The support before the funeral was incredible. The funeral service was perfect and was how Dad would have liked to be remembered. The celebrate, Antonia was wonderful and captured Dad perfectly. I would recommend Stuart to anyone who wanted to have a perfect funeral service for their loved one. Thanks Stu.
