— Rhona Devlin (about Lynne)
"Right from the first phone call to a phone call after the funeral, her professional approach and compassion put us at ease. Lynne explained everything with no pressure whatsoever — and myself and both my brothers came out with a smile."
— alan waddell (about Lynne)
"From the first phone call with Lynne, we knew we'd made the right decision. The care, compassion and ease of arrangements was superb — the experience with Lynne surpassed both previously arranged funerals. She clearly puts herself in her customers' shoes, nothing is too much trouble and takes everything at your pace."
— Jerry H (about Lynne)

From the first phone call with Lynne, we knew we'd made the right decision to contact Fosters for my mums funeral. The care, compassion and ease of arrangements was superb. Unfortunately we've lost my father & father-in-law over the last 5 years and the experience with Lynne surpassed both previously arranged funerals. She clearly puts herself in her customers shoes, nothing is too much trouble and takes everything at your pace. Her advice and willingness to let you do what you want with other parts of the funeral is hugely appreciated. Thank you Lynne & Carrie for helping us make the best of it for celebrating mum during these strange times. Jerry, Ruth and family

I am very grateful to Lynne and her colleagues for being so kind, supportive and compassionate from the beginning and throughout. Without Lynne, I don’t think that I have the courage and strength to go through this. Lynne accompanied me and assisted me in this most difficult moment in my life. For this, I am so grateful to her and write to recommend her to everyone who needs the service.

A huge massive thanks to Lynne and her team at Ffd in Perth. Right from the first phone call from Lynne to a phone call after the funeral her professional approach and compassion put us at ease.I have dealt with a few funeral directors over the past few years but Fosters was by far the best. Lynne explained everything to us from start to finish with no pressure whatsoever. And myself and both my brothers came out with a smile.A massive thank you Lynne for all you done for us and will highly recommend Fosters in Perth.
