Mortuary Worker & Death Blogger
(Outfit of the Day!) I am often asked what I wear at work, and to start with on the first few occasions I kind of just assumed it was a slightly odd and prying question. Maybe it would be to see if I was wearing the correct stuf, like checking up on a trainee. However,... Continue Reading →
We did it! We have visited all of the Magnificent Seven London Victorian cemeteries this year. Yesterday Laura D and I paid a visit to the final, closest to my home and last to be established of them, Tower Hamlets. This cemetery is also known as Bow Cemetery and is now closed to burials but... Continue Reading →
I think this is the longest I’ve gone in a while without writing a blog post! There’s no specific reason other than I’ve been working on a post I wanted to get out but I’ve not been able to get the photos I wanted yet, so hopefully soon that will be with you. Instead, I... Continue Reading →
On more than one occasion at Death Café I have been asked a very simple question and this is ‘What are your funeral plans?’. Shamefully I honestly answer that there aren’t any, or at least I haven't made any complete decisions. I simply haven’t sat down and thought about it yet. When I do think... Continue Reading →
What a fabulous start to the week I have had! Between being filmed for a documentary and Death Cafe, I can honestly say I had the best Tuesday for a long time. Those that know me well will know my hatred of that day of the week. Today was calmer but that was some relief,... Continue Reading →
One of the main purposes of this blog is to share my learning experience and I get stupidly excited about the things I can write about.

Ahhhhh I have so much to tell you all! Be prepared for a complete update summary; possibly quite lengthy and I’m not sure where to begin, so here it goes! The latest Brain Count (the number of brains successfully removed by myself) is at a healthy 42. I’m well on my way to my aim... Continue Reading →
Sunday saw another adventure day for myself and Laura D. We are getting on through the Magnificent Seven and visited our penultimate cemetery; West Norwood. I travelled to parts of South London I have never wandered before, taking full advantage of being that way in order to pay the amazing dinosaurs of Crystal Palace Park... Continue Reading →
As you might have seen, what happens to the dead has been quite a hot topic in the news this week. I want to start by saying I am nowhere near an authority on what is being reported or what is being said in return. I’ve seen or read what I have access to, and... Continue Reading →
I woke up early again this Sunday! I had my breakfast, said goodbye to my other half and off I headed out in the rain. For the day was made for cemetery wandering and cemetery wandering I was about to do! The gates from within the cemetery Nunhead cemetery is one of the least known... Continue Reading →
