STUART FOSTER FUNERALS SERVICES REVIEWS

I cannot recommend Stuart Foster Funeral Services highly enough. They were actually recommended to us a small family run business and it was the best decision we made. Jo and Alun were very kind, friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and they guided us through a very difficult situation and made it bearable. They actually became our friends and I would have no hesitation at all in using their services again and recommending them to friends and family who find themselves in need of friendly, sympathetic and personable people.

Stuart went above and beyond to care and help us in dads funeral. Most respectful and family friendly person. Stuart showed Care and dignity for dad whilst in his care. Including us all and dad in preparing the funeral. Every request and more was met. It couldn’t have gone any better. And the most helpful team that work beside him. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you Stuart.

Lovely place. Tom was amazing. Very compassionate and caring. Providing an amazing service for my Dad and his funeral. Caring and really listened to you.

A.J. WAKELY & SONS REVIEWS

Professional kind and courteous. Did everything with the care and consideration you’d expect. Having lost both mother and father in law suddenly over an 8 week period, they made it a less painful time for our families.

Wakely did an amazing job of providing the perfect send off for my Father. A difficult day made easier by this amazing business. Kudos to the business and their representative Matthew. Highly recommended 10/10.

Had the pleasure of working with Wakely’s staff yesterday, they really looked after us, we were very impressed.

A E STOODLEY & SON LTD REVIEWS

Tracey is absolutely fantastic, so sympathetic, friendly and able to put a smile on your face. She makes what is the most difficult time in people’s lives more heart warming and bearable. Tracey made sure that everything down to the last detail was perfect for my wonderful Mums funeral and for that I cannot thank her enough. Would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to celebrate the life of their loved one.

We have used stoodley and sons twice now, I cannot recommend them enough. When going through the hardest times Tracey and her wonderful team just make everything that much easier, the love and care they give/show is one in a million. We as a family will be forever grateful. Wonderful service with kind caring people. Thank you for everything.

We received an excellent service from start to finish. Tracey guided us through the planning with understanding & compassion, helping us to achieve our very personal family celebration of a life.

Over the past 20 years we have had occasion to use the services of Stoodley & Son of Crewkerne for our close family members. On all occasions they have provided exemplary services to us. In July of this year a close family member died and our natural choice was Stoodley. They acted once again with professionalism and compassion, providing a very personal service. Reply

In the most challenging times in your life you need pragmatic compassion and support. We cannot recommend Stoodley and Sons more (in particular Tracey who gently navigated us though the process with such respect and care ). We are immensely grateful for their support - Deborah K Reply
