Planning a funeral, rituals and why marking endings is vital with funeral director, Poppy Mardall.
This week, I'm speaking with Poppy Mardall. Funeral director and owner of Poppy's funerals!
In this episode Poppy and I discuss:
- How she came into this line of work.
- What are the actual steps when organising a funeral?
- Championing advocacy for end of life wishes!
- Rituals and what they really can be and look like
- Challenging why we are so bad with 'endings' as a whole
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Poppy, it was a total delight. It's always amazing how talking about the dead and the dying can actually be completely life affirming.

Big love,

The Grief Gang
Welcome to the gang...the one you never asked to be part of.The Grief Gang podcast was created after host Amber Jeffrey, Mother died unexpectedly at the age of 19. Struggling with her grief and feelings, she set out to find people who just got it and to share the continuous whirlwind experience of this thing called grief.Through sharing her own experiences, the highs and the really low lows, the funny bits, the naff bits and the really confusing bits, this show aims to show you that you are never alone in your grief and feelings. Nor should you have to suffer it alone. You will hear alongside Amber's own experiences on this podcast, an array of guests who honestly & candidly share their own stories of their grief, from all different walks of life and losses. From parent, child, sibling, partner & more, there is hopefully something here for everybody.You will most likely cry, even more likely to laugh when listening to this show, but above all this show aims to provide you with hope. Hope that there is life after loss..and a bloody good one at that.The Grief Gang podcast has been celebrated by the BBC, Channel 5, Vogue, Women's Health UK & Australia and more. Amber's dedicated passion to her community and work of breaking down the taboo conversation of grief, has been recognised globally from media to the academic world.
