Having been a mourner at a Saint & Forster funeral,I knew it was they that I wanted to help arrange my mother's woodland burial. It was beautiful, exactly the way I and my family wanted it to be,personal, calm and about her. So when my father died last month, it was to Keith and Jenny we returned. It was to be a direct cremation, my father's wish,but it was not the cold,impersonal, perfunctory event I dreaded. Keith made it as personal and inclusive as is allowed. I do not hesitate to recommend Saint and Forster for their patience, care and professionalism.

This is the second time my wife and I have been grateful for the services of Saint &,Forster and we had no hesitation in contacting them to assist with the arrangements for my father in law. Their calm friendly and efficient manner turns what could be a stressful situation into a fulfilling right of passage. Our thanks go out to them for the help and assistance they have provided.

Keith listened, interpreted our ideas, and came up with some very individual suggestions that summed up my husband; the ethical willow coffin and the motorbike hearse were perfect. The suggestion of a non-denominational celebrant to conduct the service was welcome, and we were so pleas

Couldn't recommend anyone more than Saint and Foster for conducting the most dignified, compassionate and helpful process, so glad I chose this small, local business to take care of my mothers funeral. Five stars all round for these lovely people. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
