I started working for CPJ Field in November 2011. My role started as a Funeral Service Team Member or what was commonly known at the time, a Chauffer Bearer. This gave me a wonderful insight into the funeral industry and made me realise I wanted to learn more. In July 2015 I moved to Cooper & Son in Lewes as a trainee Funeral Director and since then I have achieved the Diploma in Funeral Arranging & Administration in 2017 and the Diploma in Funeral Directing in 2020. Looking after the families that call on us to guide them through one of the worst periods of their lives gives me immense satisfaction and drives me to make each funeral perfect in every way.
I relax by going to the gym at least 5 times a week, reading and spending time with my own family and watching local football, especially my son’s team.
I have been working for Cooper & Son at Seaford for 25 years. I have worked in other clerical positions prior to my time here, but for me being a Funeral Arranger gives me the satisfaction that you do not get in other workplaces, by being able to give support to the families who contact us. I also look after the Monumental Masonry, which is of special interest to me. Outside of work I like to garden, walk and crafting.
I have been working for Cooper & Son for two and a half years. I feel very fortunate, as I now live and work in Seaford. I am able to meet a variety of local people and give them the support they need through a difficult time. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, and gardening and I try to keep myself fit by walking and running. I like to relax in the company of friends with a good bottle of wine.
It is essential that you choose a funeral director with whom you feel comfortable. Someone who will listen to you and your story, who will remove some of the burden of the many questions and decisions. Likewise, someone who will caringly guide you through the process of arranging a funeral that is personalised and unique, whether you are helping to organise the funeral of a loved one, or simply planning ahead for your own.
