 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dad's day couldn't have been more perfect thanks to the care and attention Matthew from Samson Bairstow & Sons Ltd showed my family.  Matthew was with us when dad passed within minutes, treated dad with care and dignity, picked the perfect hearse for dad, a great celebrant who delivered dad's storey beautifully and the flowers Matthew organised for our dad being a life-long Leeds United support were stunning  At such a sad time Matthew has been amazing and taken on the weight of organising everything for our family.

If you need a Funeral Director you will be very lucky indeed to have Matthew look after you.  He is a truly one of a kind. A caring young man, who is smart and goes above and beyond to help grieving families.

Thank you from all the Whitehead family for everything you did for dad and us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely would highly recommend Samson Barstow & Sons. When my dad passed away he was immediately taken care of by Matthew and we were all so at ease that dad was left in good hands.
Matthew went astronomically above and beyond for us, nothing was too much of an ask.
I know my family now has a friend in Matthew, and though I pray that we will not need to use the company again anytime soon, there is nowhere else we would go when the time does arise.
Thank you so much, Matthew, dad would have loved you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matthew from Samson and Bairstow recently provided funeral services for my father in law.  From the first phone call I was impressed with Matthew’s professionalism.  Throughout the planning stages the support provided was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble.  All our wishes were adhered to and the service went off perfectly.  I would wholehearted recommend Samson and Bairstow to anyone as they provide a reliable service.
