Why more women are joining this profession

More women are moving into funeral directing roles according to figures from the Co-op. Jane talks to Tony Walter, Professor of Death Studies at the University of Bath, and Rosie Grant, director of “Natural Endings” (specialists in alternative and woodland burials) about why women have become interested in personalising what can be a very difficult day for families.
