Samantha Ward, Lady Funeral Director at Bay Tree Funerals
Your family should not have to repeat everything
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 there are urgent religious, preparation, prayer, burial or cremation requirements.
I will never assume that two Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Christian or non-religious families want the same funeral. Some families observe every traditional detail; others combine faith, culture and personal wishes in their own way.
I remain personally involved in both the arrangements and your loved one’s care at Bay Tree, supported by our small family team.
- Faith and cultural wishes discussed directly with your family
- Liaison with your chosen Imam, priest, pandit, granthi or celebrant
- 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. Evington 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 washing, clothing, family participation, prayer or private viewing matters. Discuss the requirements directly with Samantha rather than passing them through several departments.
Cared for by the people you meet
The person guiding the funeral remains connected to your loved one’s care.
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.
