Let's Chat... Funeral Directing (with Adrianne Hickey)

#087.  Let's Chat... setting up your own funeral business, personalising funerals, and everything funeral directing. In these Let’s Chat episodes, I (Claire Sandys) chat one-to-one with a guest who has experience/expertise in a particular area of loss.In this episode I’m chatting to Adrianne Hickey, a Funeral Director in North Wales. I met Adi on our trip to North Wales to get some work experience at a funeral directors. She took the brave step of starting her own Funeral Business with no prior experience. I was very curious to hear about what a role like this is like, and we covered all sorts of areas around funerals, like the traditions we feel we have to adhere to, why sometimes it's appropriate to get creative with funerals but not always, and what it's like setting up a funeral business from scratch as a female. When I listened back to this chat I realised it also encourages us not be afraid to give things a go, follow our dreams, and have the courage to go and get what you want.More about Adi: http://www.tirionfunerals.co.uk Social media:https://www.facebook.com/tirionfunerals https://twitter.com/adi_tirion https://www.instagram.com/tirionfunerals RELATED EPISODES:Loss 43/101: Loss of life for a Funeral Director: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/7abc6ce6/loss-43101-loss-of-life-for-a-funeral-director-jonathen-harty-and-chris-lord-brown Previous conversations with Funeral Celebrants: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/letschat Blog: Seeing my first dead body: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/seeingmyfirstdeadbodyThe Eternal Forest:https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/78cf470e/come-for-a-walk-around-a-natural-woodland-burial-site-the-eternal-forest-in-north-walesTime in Wales on work experience:https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/78783914/wales-work-experience-bitey-flies-chips-and-daveSend us Fan MailSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
