When Andy Holter saw his first dead body he was riveted. He also realised he’d found his vocation.

He left the police and decided to become a funeral director. We discuss the deaths that hit hardest, the mourners that get forgotten and why some people are actually quite pleased to see the back of us.

This episode includes references to suicide so listener discretion is advised.
