My sister and I can’t say enough about how great Sam was during such a difficult time. Sam was very open and honest with us when it came to planning the funeral and helped us say goodbye to our Mum in our own special way. Thank you Sam and team.
The team at Bay tree are brilliant and very professional, and Sam you are just so kind, compassionate. So supportive from the moment we rang all the way through to Caring so well for our loved one, and ensuring the funeral ran so smoothly. The support and kindness you gave really supported our family through this very difficult time. It was clear to see the respect and kindness they show to those in their care. You were brilliant and taking the pressure off us and organised everything so well, we couldn’t have done it without your and your team. Thank you.
So very compassionate....Sam was at my side when I needed her when I lost my Husband Steve ...& I needed a shoulder .
My mum died at the grand old age of 90 and I wanted to celebrate her life not mourn and Sam was amazing. She didn’t start with ‘Sorry for your loss’ and look all sad, which I would have hated. Instead she was really upbeat and friendly and in the end it was a really great send off for my mum. Thanks Sam and all your team for being so brilliant.
It was so important to us to find a family-run funeral director, not only one that we as a family felt comfortable with, but one that we knew our dad would have liked too. After ringing several funeral directors, I knew almost immediately, from the moment Sam answered the phone, even whilst she was on holiday, that this was the funeral director we wanted to take care of our dad. We wanted somewhere local so that Dad could remain close to home, and we were able to drive past every evening while he was in their care and say goodnight as we drove past. Sam works incredibly hard behind the scenes, orchestrating everything in a way that turns your wishes into something even more special than you could imagine. She listened to everything we wanted and followed our wishes perfectly, making what was such a difficult time feel so much easier. We are so grateful to Sam and her lovely family, who do a job that perhaps doesn't always receive the recognition it truly deserves. Their compassion, professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional from start to finish. One memory I will never forget is seeing Dad's hearse approach our home and hearing the song we had asked Sam to play for his final journey. That song means so much to both me and my brother. Not only did she play it outside our family home, but she played it while taking Dad to the church and then on to the crematorium. A special thank you to the lovely pallbearers, who probably had that song playing in their heads for the rest of the day! Thank you to you all for carrying our dad with such, care and respect. Thank you, Sam, from the bottom of my heart. We will never forget the kindness, compassion and dignity you showed our dad and our family. You helped us give him the farewell he deserved, and for that we will always be thankful. Our dad's farewell was so special because of your hard work, dedication and attention to detail. Your kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed. Thank you all for helping us give him the perfect farewell.
Amazing professional and caring . Samatha help us so much at a difficult time and guided us to arrange the most perfect funeral for my mum . I would highly recommend to use Baytree Funeral Services and will always recommend them
We cannot thank Sam enough for her support, empathy, and understanding at what was a very very difficult few weeks after the unexpected passing of my husband / father. Sam shown us total kindness and listened to our requests. Not once did we feel rushed into making decisions.Everything Sam did for us was exceptional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sam.
