The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.

"I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Angela was very sympathetic and listened to our wishes carefully. This allowed us to have the exact funeral mum wanted."
— Patrick Mullan (about Angela)
"As an only child and only being in my 30s I didn't have much help or advice on what to do and Angela was very patient and helped me decide what was needed and guided me with next steps at each point."
— Joanne Johnstone (about Angela)
"They made my nephew's funeral memorable and unique to him. Angela particularly was amazing in staying in touch and keeping us up to date. After our experience I would definitely say they would be my first choice."
— Micheal Coupe (about Angela)
"I lost both Mum and Dad within 5 months and the little touches like undertakers wearing mum's favourite colour ties meant so much. Fosters and Angela just took it on board and both funerals took place with a great deal of compassion and understanding."
— Jeanette Stewart (about Angela)
"The service I have received from the staff here has been above and beyond the call of duty, the epitome of the personal touch. A rare thing, people who actually care. Angela and Lorna in particular, my heartfelt thanks. Love to you both."
— stephen boag (about Angela, Lorna)
"They really were our rock during the worst period of our lives. Angela in particular was always there with a kind word or reassurance when needed and knew when to give us space and when we needed a cuddle."
— Nicole Duncan (about Angela)

From start to finish Fosters treated us and my Father (who had passed) with dignity and care. From the moment they came to the house to the day of the funeral, they were calm, respectful and went out of their way to help us. The day of the funeral was also run so well, from the cars to team managing the day, it all looked so smart and ran like clockwork, Christine did an amazing job. They really were our rock during a the worst period of our lives and we cannot thank them enough. Angela in particular was always there with a kind word or reassurance when needed and knew when to give us space and when we needed a cuddle. We would highly recommend their services.

Genuinely can't fault the service we received recently while organising my mother's funeral. Angela was superb. She was very sympathetic and listened to our wishes carefully. This allowed us to have the exact funeral mum wanted. I wish I could give more than 5*.

On behalf of my Mum and family, I would like to give a huge thank you to Angela and team at Fosters funeral directors, Stirling. Angela was patient and attentive with my Mum when planning my Grans funeral who sadly passed on Christmas eve. She made the whole process of planning a funeral painless and stress free at such a stressful time. Nothing was too much. Angela had recommended Mark McCabe to perform the service and he did a fantastic job at giving my Gran an amazing final farewell. Thank you again.

Angela was a great help and comfort in planning my mum's funeral. As an only child and only being in my 30s I didn't have much help or advice on what to do and Angela was very patient and helped me decide what was needed and guided with next steps at each point. Tam on the day was compassionate and professional also. While it's not something I plan on doing again for a long time, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fosters to family or friends.
