A personal message from Samantha

I will be the familiar person beside you

Hello, I’m Samantha Ward, the lady funeral director here at Bay Tree Funerals in Blaby. I help families from across Leicester and Leicestershire, and I know the first call can feel daunting.

Tell me what has happened in your own words. I will listen, explain the immediate next step and help you make each decision at a pace that feels manageable. You will not be passed around different departments. I will lead the arrangements, with the support of our small family team.

“You do not need the right words, and there is no wrong question. Please ask me whatever is on your mind.”

What happens when you call

I will keep the first conversation simple

We only need to deal with what matters now. The rest can wait until you are ready.

Tell me what has happened

You can take your time. You do not need every detail, document or decision ready before you call.

I will explain the next step

I will tell you what needs to happen now, what can wait and what we can take care of for you.

We take one decision at a time

Nothing is rushed. I will guide you through the arrangements in plain English and keep you informed.

Something families often ask me

Your loved one stays here with us in Blaby

Once your loved one comes into our care, they are looked after here at Bay Tree Funerals, in our own private Chapel of Rest. I personally oversee their care, so you will know where they are and who is looking after them.

If you would like to visit, I will explain everything beforehand and make the Chapel of Rest as private and peaceful as possible. Some families choose to visit and some do not. There is no pressure either way.
