Sam and her team are absolutely amazing, from beginning to end they made the process a lot easier( it's not a situation that can be considered easy) but something that could be dealt with. Every step was explained and often explained again so we knew what was happening. The care from her team was exemplary, honestly it was so nice to have people around that could support us when we were trying to hold ourselves together. This business is a family one and it shows. Everything is broken down and explained so that you can make the best decisions at the time regarding what you would like to do. She is easily contacted and is always polite and supportive. Thank you Bay Tree Funeral Directors Margaret Atton28. January, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
