For this project I wanted to explore the role of a funeral director, someone who deals with death in his or her occupation. I had the opportunity to shadow Matt Lucas, a funeral director at A.J Wakely & Sons, Bridport Dorset on a typical (not that there are any) day as a funeral director. The book is split into chapters. First part talks about ‘the job’, including arranging funerals, and coffins. Second talks about the various venues to the family run business. Third part is a gallery, and last is the emotional side to being a funeral director, giving more of an insight to Matt and the team.
