Samantha Ward, Lady Funeral Director at Bay Tree Funerals
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, a cemetery authority or a crematorium. 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
