And lastly, an insight to Samantha ❤️
I joined the funeral service in 2016. I started as an arranger, before moving to funeral service operative and working night shifts during the Covid pandemic. In 2022, I joined the family independent funeral directors at W.R Bettelley, alongside Josh, as a funeral director.
In 2024, I was proudly made funeral service manager. I work alongside Josh, ensuring the business runs as smoothly as possible, from bringing loved ones into care, arranging the funerals, assisting in the care and preparation of your loved ones to conducting on the day. I support families after the funeral, with advice on headstones, interments/strewings and I'm an appointed representative for the sale of pre-paid plans.
As a funeral director, to look after bereaved families and their loved ones entrusted in my care as I do my own, is an honour. I do my role out of genuine compassion, love and care and sometimes spend more time with those than my own family. On the day of a funeral, I am filled with such honour and pride. Im so privileged to be in the role I serve and help families across Staffordshire Cheshire and beyond, with a wonderful team around me.
When I hang up my hat in the evening, I am a mum to 3 beautiful children, I enjoy coffee and reading, and watching all sorts of crime drama documentaries! I love studying history, visiting cities, theatre trips (especially Phantom of the Opera) and seeing the sunset by the sea (not forgetting my slight obsession with palm trees!). Xx
