Stuart and his team especially Matthew were absolutely amazing at this very sad time in our lives. They organised everything which took the pressure off us to grieve the loss of our much loved Dad. It’s obvious that they care compassionately about the families they support with their kind words and encouragement to help you through one of the hardest times in your life. We had the service and celebration of Dads life in the beautiful Butterfly Rooms at Stuart’s premises, there was no rush to end the celebrations and I would highly recommend the to anyone who finds themselves having to deal with the loss of a loved one.My sincere thanks to everyone at Stuart Fosters .Lynn x

Stu and I first met aged 4 and although we’ve only seen each other sporadically, have therefore been friends all our lives - I knew there was no one else we would call when we needed him. His warmth, humour and compassion is exactly what you need at the worst time of your life, when you feel like you have no clue what to do and need a guiding light to help you through it. This is exactly what Stu did for us. We knew Dad would have hated a traditional funeral and so would we - so Stu allowed us more or less free rein to have a small very personal “farewell” at the Butterfly rooms, with just our family and close friends, the music and words we wanted and no fuss. We’re celebrating his life in a different way with everyone who knew him later this month. What we loved was that Stu and his team enabled us to do things exactly OUR way, we didn’t have to conform to the traditional style funeral, but they gave us the structure and guidance. They’ve also been incredibly helpful and supportive in designing extra stationary for our celebration of life, and arranging a Much Loved page for donations to our chosen charity. Thank you Stu and team - you always were a legend and still are - and the fact you go above and beyond to make sure everyone and everything is ok is a real breath of fresh air.
