People think the job would be 'miserable' but it's been described as 'rewarding' 🥰
From different coloured coffins to being buried with an ECHO newspaper and betting slips, there are "rarely limits" to how you can say goodbye to a loved one.
He said: "People are creative. In a lot of ways, covid wasn't great for restrictions on funerals but it allowed people to think about them a bit more which was good. Our job is not to say no. "Last year we did a funeral where we had a burial outside, behind their home around a giant oak tree and people brought blankets and gazebos and it was a lovely way of saying goodbye. If people want to do something a bit different, we will always support that."
"People ask do you see dead bodies and yes obviously, but there's nothing frightening about someone who has passed away. That person is someone's mother, father, brother or sister and they will be looked after like one of our own, treated with respect." For wife Claire, she was "from a different world", until she joined the family business after the birth of her second child. But for her, the benefits are the same - being a support network for families.
