The Funeral Director by Iman Qureshi

So, you want to be a funeral director? Then step right up because Papatango Prize Winner The Funeral Director has got you covered! But when the past starts to encroach on Ayeesha;s present and she's inherited the business from her mum - can she really separate her work life from her personal life?  And how long can she hide away her true self amongst the dead bodies she surrounds herself with? Plus Meg and Lexie discuss how at the end of the day, tea is Always the right choice.

Please be aware that in the show there is one scene in which a baby is prepared for burial, and we discuss that on today's episode between 08.30-11.15

Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
