Stuart Foster Funeral Services

5 Emma Puraene 15th Sep 2026

The Butterfly rooms are a wonderful alternative for a funeral where you can have the service and wake in the same place without being hurriedly moved on. We were able to say extra goodbyes to mum without her being rushed away as she was buried the following morning. Due to it being bright and airy, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were able to attend and each were able to choose how much of the service they wished to attend which helped them process. Mum had a family service which was fitting for her in death as it was in her life, the centre of our family and the host of all gatherings and celebrations. Stuart and his team enabled this, making the process and the arrangements as easy as possible. They looked after mum and the family with kindness and respect from the moment they were asked to look after her. Thank you to you all.

Stuart and Jo, did their best to make everything run smoothly for us, the venue worked well especially in taking away the hardship of where to hold the wake, and also provided catering for the event. Many thanks to you both.

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.

We chose Stuart foster for one simple reason, they have an excellent reputation in the area. They went above and beyond in every single way! It's not the nicest of times when organising a loved ones funeral, but it was made easier with great communication, lovely staff and everything was so easy. I live 2.5hrs away around 130miles, and constant updates, email, video calls and phone calls made organising it much easier. Thankyou all so much for giving my grandad such a great send off.

5 Tracey Turk 12th Aug 2026

I can honestly say Stuart and his team made a very emotional time in our lives, so much easier. From the initial meeting to discuss arrangements and wishes for dad, every step was explained with compassion and care. The service given by Matthew was exceptional. We chose to have the wake at the Butterfly rooms and it was perfect in every way, food was excellent, plenty of time to have a toast to dad, in a well stocked bar. As dad was a proud welsh man, the staff wore welsh pin badges, the personal touch meant so much. 100% recommend, a perfect place where any wish is granted to celebrate the life of a loved one. Thank you Stuart and the team.

We used Stuart Foster Funeral Services following the passing of my mother, and we could not have asked for a more professional, caring and compassionate service.

From the very beginning, they guided us through what was an extremely difficult and emotional time with kindness, understanding and genuine care. Everything was handled with great professionalism and attention to detail, while still feeling personal and respectful throughout.

They made the whole process as straightforward as possible for our family and gave us complete confidence that everything was being taken care of properly. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal, and they were always available to answer our questions and offer support when we needed it.

We are extremely grateful to Stuart Foster Funeral Services for the dignity, compassion and care they showed to our mother and our family. **We would highly recommend their services to anyone who has sadly lost a loved one.**

Thank you for helping us through such a difficult time and for giving our mother the respectful farewell she deserved.

Dads Celebration of Life

I can not thank Stuart & his team enough.
From my fist phone call with Charlie, meeting Stuart & Matthew at the Butterfly Room through to the celebration of life, they were all amazing.
Nothing was too much trouble. They were available 24/7 & managed to get everything prepared in less than 3 weeks. The team handle everything with kindness, compassion & even a little humour.
Matthew the celebrant was wonderful & the Butterfly Rooms were the perfect setting for Dads celebration of life. The photo tribute & order of service were fabulous.
If you are looking for funeral directors that go that extra mile, then I can not recommend Stuart Foster & his team more highly.

If I could give 6 stars I would

Stuart and his team were wonderful. They arranged everything for my Mum’s funeral and her Wake, in the amazing Butterfly Rooms. It made a very painful and stressful day, something beautiful to remember Mum by. 
I cannot praise and recommend Stuart and his team more highly. 

5 Keith Fowler 13th Jul 2026

Stuart Foster provided our family with an excellent service from the very start. They were highly supportive and professional at all times . They took charge of everything for us and made the whole experience stress free. They also provided a personal service which we as a family totally appreciated. The venue was perfect for the ceremony and afterwards, it was just what we asked for. We would highly recommend their services to anyone.

All of those who work Stuart Foster Funeral Service who helped organise mums funeral did so in a professional, kind and compassionate way.    As a family we cannot thank them enough for the support they  gave us.

5 Antoinette Groves 15th May 2026

Really can’t recommend Stuart Foster Funeral Services highly enough. From the very first moment we made contact, they were kind, supportive, and incredibly helpful. During such a difficult time, they made everything feel much easier with their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole process. Their guidance and reassurance meant a great deal to our family, and we are truly grateful for everything they did.

5 Claire Hussey 9th Apr 2026

Guided us every step of the way. The Butterfly rooms is far more personal than a crematorium and we were able to hold a wake there after dads service too. Thanks Stuart and team.

5 Tammy Edmunds 9th Apr 2026

From the very first time I spoke with Stuart to after the funeral I could not be more grateful for the compassion and dignity they treated us and mum with. Paul and Matthew who came to collect mum were kind and unrushed. Jo and Tracey-Ann were remarkable during the hardest time of my life, they really couldn’t have been more supportive. The team on the day of mum’s funeral were amazing and every little thing went without incident. I will forever be grateful to the whole team, for making the entire process as stress free as it could possibly have been. 

5 Pete Turton 7th Apr 2026

Like most people, funerals of close loved ones are not a welcome part of life but have to be endured. Feeling uncomfortable attending crematoriums, and having very good friends, suggested the use of the Butterfly Rooms in Yeovil. It was the most wonderful day I could have wished for. Jo and Her staff were so caring and on-hand for everything, Ann would have been so pleased with my choice. Thank you Jo for being there for me. Pete

5 Rebecca Comley 9th Mar 2026

Brilliant, Ellie was our director in place of Stuart and the whole team were just brilliant. For a very high stress time they managed to reduce so much of the difficulty, stress and worry. Stuart also has a unique sense of humour, and his place in the universe to help people through very challenging times.

5 Alison Bolton 27th Feb 2026

Our family were treated with care and compassion before and after the funeral. Jo was very kind and caring throughout the whole process and the service was dignified and reflected Mum's wishes.
We couldn't have wished for a better service.

5 Emma Rickerby 27th Feb 2026

From start to finish the service we received from Stuart and his team was superb. So friendly and yet maintaining a balance of friendliness and professionalism. The purpose built Butterfly Rooms was absolutely perfect in all respects.
