Welcome back to Podcast "Over My Dead Poddy" - back with series 2, episode 1.

Season 2 kicks off with a big, old catch-up episode, chatting about what we've been up to, what's coming up in the new series, and why Carl's devastated he's had to give up his beloved Pop Tarts! You can expect more myth busting, more honest truths and some laughs along the way. We're so excited to....

In an otherwise, currently, unregulated industry it is always advised that, when choosing a Funeral Director, you should look for one who is a member of at least one of NAFD (National Association of Funeral Directors) or SAIF (SAIF independent funeral directors). These are the only two organisations who liaise directly with the government and who are committed to ensuring that their members adhere to strict codes of conduct and standards.

By voluntarily being members of one (or in our case, both) of these organisations you can be sure of receiving the best care for your family at a difficult time.

👨Movember
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.

A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by su***de every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all su***des.

This Movember, our Jacob is taking part (along with other members of his university lacrosse team). Please support this fantastic cause and Jacob here:

Movember, the month formerly known as November, is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

🌟Supplier Spotlight🌟
We are delight to introduce who supply all of our Willow coffins.

All coffins are handmade in Somerset (not transported half way around the world) where the Willow is grown in rows of bushes. Once cut the willow will regenerate back to the same height within a single year - making it an excellent renewable source for the environmentally conscious. The coffins come in two shapes: traditional and curved end, and two standard colours - though a range of custom colour bands or full coloured coffin choices are available.

Ask today about the options available.
