Opening on the 20th of December at 1 Nethertown Broadstreet in Dunfermline, the experienced team at Fosters Funeral Directors believe that every life is unique and do their utmost to help families celebrate a life in a dignified and personalised manner.

Fosters funeral arranger Lynne Turner explains “When a family first come into the funeral home, they are often very upset and if they’ve never had to arrange a funeral before it can feel a bit overwhelming. My role is to reassure them and lift the worry from their shoulders. Taking care of every detail, I’ll organise paperwork, a celebrant and flowers, and look after the little touches that can mean so much.”

She continues “I listen very carefully to the stories the family share about their loved one’s life. If they mention that their mum always loved gardening or was a big fan of The Beatles, then we can incorporate that into the service in some way.”

Fosters understand that little things can mean so much and that often it’s the simplest of gestures that bring the most comfort. It could be the respectful act of ‘paging away’ from the family home one last time or inviting mourners to wear clothing in your loved one’s favourite colour.

A personalised funeral will share fond memories and reflect on happier times which can be uplifting as it raises a smile as well as tears. Often referred to as a ‘Celebration of Life’ a personalised funeral needn’t be expensive as Fosters charge less so you can do more, like hiring a piper or choosing a memorial. Prices start from only £1,845 and there’s no hidden fees.  

So how can a family make a funeral service reflect an individual’s personality, hobbies or lifestyle?

Lynne says “One lady told me that her husband had enjoyed hillwalking and went out rain or shine, accompanied by his beloved Labrador, a slice of cake and a flask of tea. He had climbed every Munro in Scotland, he loved the views and the peace and quiet.”

Dunfermline Press:

“When arranging his funeral, I suggested that we placed his walking boots on top of the coffin during the service, and we created a slideshow of photos that reflected his love of the great outdoors, remembering happy times with family and friends. Often it is these small gestures that bring the greatest comfort long after the funeral service has taken place.”

With a Fosters personalised funeral there are no hidden costs, and prices start from only £1,845.
