Stuart Foster dealt with my sisters funeral and was with us every step of it, which was a very welcoming personal touch. Even after the funeral he was still at hand to help with requests. Very friendly and helpful at all times. I was recommended Stuart by a friend & have not been disappointed!

We contacted Stuart Foster Funeral Services to take care of my dad after his passing. Stuart and his staff were respectful, professional, and understanding. We really appreciated the attention to detail. I cannot thank them enough for their excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Fred Wavell 11th Jan 2022

Both the preparation and carrying out of the funeral was done with care and consideration and gave an appropriate and sensitive time for family and friends to say goodbye to Derek. Special praise goes to Antonia Burt for her conduct of the service, which was moving and uplifting. Several people remarked to us what a beautiful service it was. Many thanks.

    When you lose a loved one dealing with the practical side of funerals and paperwork is so overwhelming and the last thing anyone wants to be doing. That’s why we turned to stuart and his team. From the moment I spoke to them on the phone they have been pure perfection. Guiding me and my family through all the practical side of death as well as the family friendly touch we so needed at the time. He listening and cared and made life just that little bit easier when we were falling apart. We felt cared for and listened to and it meant my dad had the funeral he would have wanted to attend himself. His set price packages made finances so easy to understand. No worrying about how much things would be and what to choose. The fact he knows what is needed after many years of experience just takes the pressure of decision making. Which was very welcome and made it easier to understand. I can not recommend stuart and his team highly enough. Anyone faced with the devastation of losing a loved one should give them a call, they will help you through it all.

    Stuart and the team have been like family through this difficult time. As daunting as planning my own muns funeral was, Stuart made me feel at ease from our first conversation. From taking care of her to taking care of me on the most difficult day of my life, Stuart and the team have been incredible. Thank you all so much for your kindness and support. I am so glad I came to you and would recommend everyone else to do the same.

    The funeral for my mother, Betty, was conducted from the first meeting in a professional, courteous, thoughtful and compassionate manner. Nothing was too much trouble they went out of their way to ensure that all our wishes were meticulously carried out and at all times they showed my mother the dignity and respect she deserved. Our family is and will always be eternally grateful for such dedication. Stuart, Kate, Joe and Antonia were superb. Michael Seward.
