Hi, I’m Samantha. I grew up in the charming village of Greatworth and moved to Brackley 30 years ago to raise my two incredible children. Throughout this time, I worked part-time to accommodate my family’s needs.

In 2016, I joined The Co-operative Funeral Care, specifically WJ Franklin & Son, as a funeral arranger in Brackley. With dedication and passion, I quickly advanced to managing the branch and organizing funeral services for clients, friends, and even my own family. Along the way, I developed strong relationships with the local town council, ministers, civil celebrants, and businesses. Many of the people I encountered during this journey have become lifelong friends.

Having experienced various aspects of my clients’ needs during such a difficult time, I gained extensive knowledge and identified areas where additional support is essential for those who have lost their loved ones. My goal is to provide you and your family with a personalised service that meets your individual requirements when you find yourself faced with planning a funeral.

There is no predetermined plan for you to select from. Instead, I offer the flexibility of meeting you in the comfort of your own home, with your family present or even through a video call if that’s more convenient.

Regardless of how much involvement you prefer, I will be there to support, guide, and provide you and your family with a tailored service. Together, we will embark on a farewell journey with your loved one, ensuring that I am By Your Side every step of the way.

I offer guidance and support including:

•  Flexible home visits including family video calls
•  Coordinating and liaising with your chosen funeral director
•  Assist with all aspects of administration and stationery
•  Accompany you with appointments that you attend
•  Source and booking of wake venue, catering and flowers
•  Coordinating travel and accommodation needs
•  Arranging of themed ceremonies and memorial services
•  Helping with all aspects and services of after-care
