Mortuary Assistant in a public mortuary, also a part-time PhD student at the University of Sheffield, interested in funeral pre-planning and funeral poverty 💀👻
Interesting article on funeral costs in The Times today, I just wish it was made clearer how much shortfall there is between the government payment and what most people would consider a ‘normal’ funeral, and how selective the eligibility criteria is!

Cannot wait to start the process of moving to Sheffield, most excited about the fact that I will no longer have to spend my evenings and weekends listening to the kids upstairs arguing, the mum screaming at them & my walls (and everything on them) shaking from them running up and down constantly😫

Stretching out an old(ish) pair of slightly-too-small clogs for work next week and just answered the door to my neighbour with my joggers tucked into bright pink socks with said clogs on my feet, and only realised what a horrific sight that was when I passed a mirror on my way back to my desk 😬

One week today I’ll be walking into my new job for the first time. I was at my last place for 10 years - from when I was in sixth form to now - so this will only be my second ever ‘first day of work’ and I’m SO nervous for it 😬

Pretty sure I don’t know anyone on here yet, so just a quick introduction - I’m Lucy, a part-time Uni of Sheffield PhD student researching understandings of, and attitudes towards, funeral pre-planning in order to explore whether encouraging pre-planning can help address funeral poverty (1/2)
