Samantha Ward, Lady Funeral Director at Bay Tree Funerals
One familiar person from the first call onward
Hello, I’m Samantha.
When you call Bay Tree, there is every chance you will speak directly to me. Tell me what has happened, who should be involved and whether the family is considering a local church, burial, cremation or a non-religious farewell.
Clarendon Park includes people with many beliefs, cultures and family traditions. Some want a local church service; others prefer a modern, non-religious or mixed-faith ceremony. I will listen to the person’s life and the family’s wishes rather than forcing the funeral into a standard package.
I remain personally involved in both the arrangements and your loved one’s care at Bay Tree, supported by our small family team.
- Church, burial, cremation, cultural and personal wishes discussed directly
- Local church, minister, celebrant, cemetery and venue liaison
- Clear written costs before arrangements are confirmed
- One familiar person to call through to the funeral day
Nearby and independent: Bay Tree’s funeral home and private chapel of rest are at 7A Welford Road in Blaby. Clarendon Park families can meet Samantha privately there, with free parking and time to talk without being rushed.
Continuity of care matters
Your loved one remains locally at Bay Tree, cared for by Samantha and the same small team.
Once your loved one comes into our care, they remain at Bay Tree in our own private chapel of rest. Samantha remains connected to the care taking place and to the family’s wishes.
This can be particularly important where family visits, clothing, prayer, cultural preparation, private viewing or a personal ceremony matters. Discuss the requirements directly with Samantha rather than passing them through several departments.
A private local chapel
Visits, prayers and appropriate preparation wishes can be discussed sensitively.
One team accountable throughout
Samantha and the Bay Tree family team remain your clear point of contact.
