As we get older, death inevitably becomes a more common feature of our lives. Many of us will know someone close to us who has died and, in some way, will have felt the impact of those who work in the death industry. Many people in the Brave Starts community have considered jobs like death doula, grief counsellor, funeral director, celebrant, or some other line of work associated with death. To help demystify and talk about the death sector, we are delighted to have Poppy Mardall, the Founder of Poppy's Funerals, come and talk to us about:
- The good things about working in this sector
- The eye opening things to consider
- Alternative approaches to death and opportunities to work in the field
- What training/qualifications you might need to consider
- The qualities and strengths you need
