Samantha Ward, Lady Funeral Director at Bay Tree Funerals
The person who will guide your family
You can call me before you understand the paperwork, know which crematorium to use or have spoken to a church. Tell me what has happened in your own words and I will explain the immediate next step.
I can coordinate St Wilfrid’s Church, Kibworth Methodist Church, Great Glen Crematorium, Countesthorpe, burial, cremation, the minister or celebrant, the hearse, service details and the family’s personal wishes. I am supported by our small family team, but I remain involved throughout.
My job is to make the arrangements feel manageable, protect your family from having to chase different organisations and make sure your loved one is treated with dignity in our care.
Our location, explained honestly: Bay Tree serves Kibworth Beauchamp, Kibworth Harcourt and the surrounding villages from our funeral home and private chapel at 7A Welford Road, Blaby. We do not claim to have a branch in Kibworth. Your loved one remains in our own care there, with Samantha and the same small family team.
Care without being passed from department to department
Once your loved one comes into Bay Tree’s care, they remain at our funeral home and private chapel in Blaby. Samantha stays connected to the family’s wishes, chapel visits and funeral arrangements.
This matters when clothing, prayer, a family visit, a meaningful route or a particular service detail is important. You can discuss it with the person leading the arrangements.
