A familiar person beside you

Hello, I’m Samantha.

You can call me before you understand the paperwork, know whether the funeral will be a burial or cremation, or have spoken to St John the Baptist Church or Enderby Parish Council. Tell me what has happened in your own words and I will explain the immediate next step.

I can coordinate bringing your loved one into our care, the church or crematorium, cemetery paperwork, minister or celebrant, hearse, music, service details and the personal wishes that matter to your family.

My job is to make a difficult time feel calmer, protect your family from having to chase different organisations and ensure your loved one is treated with dignity throughout.

  • Immediate guidance following a death
  • One familiar point of contact throughout
  • Church, cemetery, crematorium and officiant liaison
  • Clear written costs before confirmation
  • Personal involvement through to the funeral day

Care without being passed between departments

One small family team taking responsibility for the details.

Once your loved one comes into Bay Tree’s care, they remain at our funeral home and private Chapel of Rest in Blaby. Samantha stays connected to the family’s wishes, chapel visits and funeral arrangements.

This matters when clothing, prayer, a private family visit, a meaningful route or a particular service detail is important. You can discuss it directly with the person leading the arrangements.

St John the Baptist Church

St John the Baptist is Enderby’s Church of England parish church on Leicester Road. Bay Tree can liaise with the clergy and coordinate the funeral director’s responsibilities, subject to the church’s pastoral arrangements and availability.

Church funeral guidance

Other Enderby places of worship

Who can obtain a new plot?

Burial and ashes guidance

Enderby Parish Council maintains the closed churchyard on behalf of Blaby District Council. A church funeral may therefore be followed by burial at Enderby New Cemetery where eligibility permits, or by cremation elsewhere.
