Amy at Foster Funeral Home is absolutely amazing. This lady is prompt and professional. She has a caring attitude and sensitive to all of your needs. She is a true professional. She took care of my dads service 5 years ago and now again for my moms last week. I cant think of a better place to have your funeral plans taken care of. She is on top of everything.

I highly recommend Amy and Foster Funeral Home! Through our difficult loss she was by our side the entire time. She went above and beyond! With Covid we were unable to have a typical funeral service, but she made the best out of the situation. We felt as though we had the best, private funeral for our little guy. She even stayed in touch, always asking how we were doing. When I told her we were having a difficult time coping, she went out of her way...on a weekend, to contact some folks that we could grieve with. We could not have asked for a more beautiful service at such a difficult time. Thank

Amy is amazing. I am happy to say during times of crisis, there's no better staff to turn to. Both of my parents died unexpectedly this year and they've made the worst experiences of my life so much easier than I ever expected. Thank you all. I would never go anywhere else.
