Definitely 100 % recommend
I used Fosters in Alloa and Gary was excellent. He went above and beyond. I wanted a simple burial but not the simple coffin. He got me what I wanted. He was very patient with me and my 101 questions but all were answered with the upmost compassion. I was very happy with the service. The reason I gave a 5 star review is I’ve used Fosters before and both times the service had been excellent.
Friendly genuine staff
From the first moment I spoke to Jess at the Perth branch I felt at ease. she assured us that herself and her team would be looking after my husband. The best idea she told me about was decorating my husbands coffin. It turned out to be unique and gave us some peace. Thank you to all. Jess, Martin, Paul and Dawn. We couldn’t have got through the day without your help.
The most supportive and helpful people
I contacted fosters when i lost my dad and from day one the have been nothing but helpful and supportive. Kerry from duntocher branch i have no words on how supportive she has been since the first day i stepped in the branch until today when i picked up my dad to bring home . I dont have a bad word to say about fosters and will be using them in every unfortunate event.

A Lovely Farewell
From the first call I made at 3am in the morning Fosters carried out everything without delay and so professional.
Sharon from the Ayr Funeral Directors was fabulous and said all the words that you need at a time like this when your emotions are running high.
Fosters had everything organised and took away the stress of organising what was a lovely service ,the Funeral directors were exceptional on the day.
Seamless experience from start to finish.
Seamless experience from start to finish with Lynne and her team at the Dunfermline branch, which is just what is needed at such a stressful and emotionally upsetting time. Everything was planned to perfection and our family wishes were fully understood with an undoubted personal touch to proceedings. Cannot fault anything.
Can’t recommend more highly
This is the third time I have used the services of Fosters Dunfermline and cannot recommend them more highly. They are professional, caring, kind and place no pressure on you and take everything at your own pace. Lynne especially has help now with my uncle, my mum and most recently my dad’s cremation and made me feel as if my best friend was helping me make arrangements.
I hope I don’t have to use their services again for a long time but if I know anyone who does require a kind and caring funeral directors I will be singing the praises of Fosters and especially Lynne.

Organising a funeral for the first time…
Organising a funeral for the first time is a daunting task and I have to thank Marie for the professional and compassionate manner in which she dealt with me in organising my dad’s funeral ….she was amazing throughout and kept me fully informed at every stage.
Thanks also to Dominic and Maurice for their part in giving my dad a memorable send off! Linda
Exceptional and professional service
From the moment we contacted Fosters to the settlement of the bill, they genuinely couldn’t do enough for us and did so with such professionalism, empathy and respect. Marie from Newton Mearns, whom we dealt with, was exceptional. She was so patient, respectful and helpful and spoke us through everything and was always a reassuring voice along the way. Absolutely no pressure at any point and we will 100% use Fosters in the future.
We just lost our dad
We just lost our dad. Lynne made a bad situation easier to deal with. She was an absolute darling. She advised us about different things we could do regarding dad. She was helpful and listened to what we wanted for him. She looked after dad well and we didn't have to compromise any of our wishes. Would definitely use Fosters again. Thank you so much for your kindness and care Lynne xx

Highly recommend Fosters
Due to the excellent support I received previously with Fosters in Clydebank I had no doubts using them again when my Aunt passed away. The whole process from start to finish was seamless which took my own anxiety away knowing that everything was in safe hands. Kerry helped and supported me with every detail and also organised our celebrant Gordon who delivered a lovely life story.
