From a very young age, my ambition has always been to become a Funeral Director and after almost 24 years in Pathology, I decided it was time to fulfil my dream. I have worked for Walker's, Michael Walsh and John Tremble Funeral Directors previously but when the opportunity came up for me to become an Independent Funeral Director I felt the time was right. During the last few years, I have also volunteered at Eden Valley Hospice helping provide respite care, love and attention to patients and their families. I have previously worked as a Health Care Assistant on the wards at the Cumberland Infirmary alongside my post in Pathology. The knowledge I have gained during my time in Pathology liaising very closely with Her Majesty's Coroner, GP's, families, Bereavement Services and Funeral Directors has proved invaluable. I am available 24 hours to offer a friendly, personal, caring and professional service"
