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.

Funeral Stuart Foster From the First contact with Stuart himself was so comforting and supportive, Stuart and all of his Team Provided a caring and compassionate Service, we were only a small Group and the Service took Place in Stuart’s small private chapel, it was a loving Service. I think that my Brother would have been very happy with such a farewell.

    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.

  • 5 Allan Moore 9th Jan 2026

    Stuart Foster funeral services have been a great comfort to us since the unexpected death of my wife, Janet. Jo has helped guide us throughout the entire process and even though the funeral is over they have let us know that they remain there for our whole family even if it’s just popping in for a cuppa. At the most difficult time in our lives they were super professional too. In Jo we all feel we have made a friend for life. Love to all.

  • 5 Martin Hellier 17th Oct 2025

    In a time of painful bereavement we wave our loved one to be cared for every step of their journey. Stuart and his colleagues went above and beyond.

    I cannot recommend this company enough for their compassion, organisation and truly were loving and understanding. Thank you so much 

  • 5 Linda Wilson 30th Sep 2025

    I chose Stuart Foster Funeral Services as they are a family independent firm. I made the right choice indeed. From the first meeting with Jo to the intimate Chapel funeral with Tracy Ann I felt cared for and that my dad was in safe hands.
    Nothing was too much trouble.. all dad’s wishes carried out.. with dignity.

    The Chapel service was perfect and as Dad had chosen a Simple Cremation he remained in the Chapel on the day then was taken to The Mendip Crematorium for a dignified cremation the following morning which was less stressful for us..

    His favourite music was played up to the actual Cremation.. reassuring.

    Obviously I recommend this firm…… Thankyou Stuart,Jo and Tracy Ann..

  • 5 Lee Chapman 29th Sep 2025

    Jo and the team made the whole process as painless as possible. They had great empathy with the family and looked after us all. The funeral itself couldn't have gone any better and Dad got the perfect send off we wanted

  • 5 Matthew Lillicrap 29th Sep 2025

    Tracey Ann has been fantastic from the start. The whole team involved couldn't have made the experience any easier. My Auntie got the send off she deserved. Very professional and respectful.

  • 5 David Sneade 8th Sep 2025

    thankyou every thing was just perfect dave

  • 5 Michael Sullivan 4th Sep 2025

    Like many, when someone dies suddenly, I had no idea of what to do, when to do it or how... Jo was helpful, kind, understanding and only a phone call away if there were any questions or concerns.
    The wonderful ceremony, was handled with professionalism and sensitivity, and was exactly how I wanted to say goodbye.
    Our celebrant, Antonia, proposed by Jo was wonderful and gave a fitting tribute to ensure the funeral was solemn, but also celebratory.

  • 5 Martin Mosdell 23rd Aug 2025

    From picking up our dad to the interment, everything was handled professionally and with kindness. We were looked after by Jo throughout the process and she made everything so much easier to deal with. Would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart Foster to anyone needing a kind and caring Funeral Director.

  • 5 Karen Doyle 22nd Aug 2025

    We were so impressed by the whole companies attitude from the caring and practical aspects of making the whole experience very easy to cope with. Jo is a stylist director and certainly knew what to say to make feel comfortable and relaxed during the interview and the service. She helped us design the exact type of funeral we hoped for. There were no glitches and everything went smoothly. The bearers were very professional even on one of the hottest days of the year. The body and ashes were respectfully treated and we would highly recommend Stuart Fosters for all funerals.

  • 5 Claire Tailby 22nd Aug 2025

    We had an outstanding service from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble.
    Highly recommend and appreciate everything that was done. Mum had a fantastic send off.
