Episode 13: The Undertaker

Simon Lupini looks like an ordinary bloke, and is. Except he does something not many people do, or know how to do.

Besides helping families in their grief by doing all the practical stuff around death - transporting the deceased, visiting Home Affairs to register a death (which is like death itself) - he prepares people for burial or cremation.

It's this last aspect of his work, seldom seen by anyone, that he describes here in detail, sharing insights, challenges, and a bunch of no-no’s in dispelling myths and stereotypes about his craft.

The Undertaker is a candid interview with a man who teaches us that respecting the dead means respecting the living.

Hold onto your hats, and enjoy the ride!
