Whenever you are ready
You can simply start with a phone call
If you are visiting our website because someone close to you has passed away, we are very sorry. It is completely normal not to know what needs to happen next.
When you feel ready, call us and tell us what has happened. There is no need to have the right words or all the information to hand. Samantha or a member of our family team will listen and gently talk you through the next step.
You do not have to sort everything out today.
Making the first phone call can feel like the hardest part.
Families often tell us they felt much more at ease once they knew what would happen next.

A personal message from Samantha
“You do not need to have everything worked out before you call me.”
People often tell me they were worried about saying the wrong thing, asking the wrong question or making the wrong decision. Please do not worry. That is exactly why I am here.
I will take the time to listen to what has happened and what matters to your family. I will explain the choices in plain English, answer your questions honestly and help you make each decision when you feel ready.
You will also have the support of our Bay Tree family team, so there will always be somebody here when you need us. We look after families throughout Blaby, Leicester and Leicestershire, but every family is cared for personally, one at a time.
“There is no right or wrong question to ask. If it is on your mind, please ask me.”
Serving Leicester & Leicestershire Families are welcome from across the county.
Something families often want to know
Your loved one will be looked after here with us
“Where will my loved one be cared for?”
This is one of the first questions families ask us, and it is a very natural thing to want to know.
Once your loved one comes into our care, they will remain here at Bay Tree Funerals in our private Chapel of Rest in Blaby. Samantha personally oversees their care, so you will know where they are, who is looking after them and that they are being cared for locally, close to you and your family.
If you would like to visit, Samantha will explain everything beforehand and make the Chapel of Rest feel as private and peaceful as possible. Some families choose to visit and some do not. There is no pressure either way.

Funeral arrangements
