When Pam and George reflect on their life together, it’s clear they’ve built a legacy of love, laughter, and family. From meeting as teenagers to raising three children and nine grandchildren in their Doncaster home of nearly six decades, their story is one of deep roots and shared purpose.

“For quite a while now, I've been saying to Pam, we have to do something about getting something done for when we do finally leave this earth,” George shared.

They weren’t thinking about a grand farewell — just a simple wish: to make things easier for their kids when the time comes.

“I wanted to do something that left the children with nothing to do,” George said.

But the first steps weren’t so simple. George made some calls to funeral providers, hoping to find a service that would respect their wishes. Instead, he found frustration.

“They virtually were telling me what I needed and what they were offering, and they never gave me the opportunity to express what I think we needed for ourselves.”

Then, a friend recommended Bare.

“Through a friend of ours — her husband was ill — she looked into Bare and went through Bare and was very, very happy,” Pam recalled.

That one recommendation changed everything.

“They just said it was wonderful. So easy. No stress.”

That sense of ease was exactly what Pam and George were looking for. A simple, thoughtful way to plan ahead, so their family wouldn’t have to carry the emotional and logistical burden down the track and they could get on with enjoying their life.

By prepaying with Bare, Pam and George have given their children and themselves something invaluable: peace of mind. 

For Pam and George, that peace came from knowing they were in control, and that their choices were respected. Because sometimes, the most loving thing you can do for your family is plan for when you’re not around.
