Daniel Stewart 3rd Feb 2023

So where do I begin ?  Having never been through such a traumatic situation as losing my mother , too say that I didn’t know where to begin was  understatement. But having the Stuart Fosters funeral service as our provider for giving our mother peace, Was by far the best decision me and our mother made . Right from the get go they were informative, understanding , professional and very kind .  You genuinely couldn’t have asked for more . A special mention has to go to Ellie who dealt with our loss from start to finish, And Ellie did the finest of jobs .  It’s hard to write a review considering the circumstance but when credit it due … It is due …. A massive thanks goes too the Stuart Foster team , who allowed a very stressful situation to be a very easy and straightforward situation. Also a mention to Antonia Burt , who delivered a very personal service. Thank you  God bless you all  Mr D F Stewart

I had to use Stuart Foster Funeral Services for the second time in a short space of time. I can not thank Jo, Stuart, Trevor and team enough for the excellent care and support they have shown me at this time. If you happen to be in need of a funeral service at a very difficult time, then these caring, compassionate people are whole heartedly recommended by me. Thank you.

  • 5 Carl Lee Forshaw 6th Jan 2023

    There’s not enough words to describe how thankful I am for this man to be the one to look after my daughter! He’s incredible at his job! He deserves every award he gets! Stu and his team are above and beyond.

  • 5 Julia Kathleen Yates 6th Jan 2023

    Stuart and his team went over and above helping us at such a difficult time. We knew right from the start we had left Mum with the right people. We went into the office to meet Stuart not knowing if we could offer Mum the funeral she deserved but came away with the perfect goodbye organised. We were treated with respect and were put at ease through the whole process. I can’t thank Stuart and his team enough for what they have done for us. A truly traumatic time was made much easier and reduced our stress enormously.

  • 5 Stephanie Stockbridge 30th Dec 2022

    As I had never previously been in the unfortunate situation of having to organise a funeral I did not know of any Funeral Directors in the area so when my husband passed away Stuart Foster was chosen at random. However, from the initial contact right through to the collection of the ashes they could not have been more kind, caring and compassionate yet highly professional. They helped me through every stage with advice and guidance and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The whole team are simply wonderful and provide first class care and attention to detail to ensure a friendly and personal service throughout. We have used Stuart Foster Funeral Services on two occasions now for family members and would not consider going anywhere else. They are both caring and professional and the service provided is second to none.

  • 5 Liam Harris 17th Sep 2022

    Cannot thank Stuart and his team enough for handling my late mothers funeral. Mum passed at home and we felt at ease from the moment he came around to remove the body which would have been in the early hours of the morning. They organised everything with my dad and I input. The day went like clockwork and I think mum would have liked it... We did her proud.

    Thanks once again. Liam and Tony Harris.

    Stuart Foster replied
    Dear Liam, you are very welcome. It was a real honour to look after your mother, and both your father and yourself too. Your kind words mean a lot to us, we are so very pleased that we were able to deliver the perfect service for your mother. Kindest regards, Stuart and the team

  • 5 Andrew Holmes 5th Sep 2022

    Stuart and his colleagues went the extra mile to make our family grief as bearable as possible. He is friendly and comforting, with enough humour to break the ice while remaining most respectful.
    They had positive and appropriate suggestions for things where we were unsure. For example playing extracts of music for the service.
    Everything was explained upfront, with no hidden costs and no attempt to "upsell". I thoroughly recommend Stuart Foster Funeral Services.

    Stuart Foster replied
    Dear Andrew, thank you for leaving us this review. We are pleased that we were able to make such a difficult time a little more bearable for you. Your kind words are very much appreciated. Kindest regards, Stuart & the team
