Funeral Director Poppy Mardall: How Our Bodies Are Cared For After We Die

This week Gabriella and MORTAL co-creator Olivia go to meet funeral director and founder of Poppy’s Funerals, Poppy Mardall.

In their conversation Poppy talks to Gabriella about the journey of a body after death; demystifying the process and the different options available to a grieving family.

Poppy is passionate about bringing humanity and care to the funeral sector. She speaks about normalising what death looks like, why she finds working in funeral care fulfilling, and how ritual can help us in grief.

Afterwards they visit the Poppy’s mortuary, and Olivia and Gabriella discuss fear of death and facing the truth of mortality.
