If, you’re reading this for the first time, you either know who I am and that’s why you’re here? Or, you have know clue, but you want to satisfy your own morbid curiosity? If any of those statements are true then please read on? If not, then read on anyway you may be surprised on what you might find?
My name is Peter, I’m an undertaker and have been since I was about 19. My interest in the funeral profession started a lot earlier than that tough. That little seed was planted when I was 14 and still at secondary school. From the moment my mother told me about a friend of hers who had trained to become an embalmer after completing work experience at an undertakers, I was hooked. That prompted me to read up and research everything there was to know at the time about the business of death. The more I read the more I wanted to do it.
So I left school and after a short while doing any job I could do to earn some money I enrolled at the Salisbury College of Funeral Sciences and began training to be an embalmer. It was the best decision of my life. It immersed me in a world most people would run a mile from. But I embraced it and made a career out of it.
I am now 35 and still going strong. Although not as an embalmer. My aim is to one dish have my own funeral home that I can pass on to my family when I’m gone. The aim of this blog is to educate, informs and in someways entertain people about my life as a UK funeral director. I hope you can join me on my journey and be part of the ever growing interest in death care.
