Funeral Arranger and Administrator, Bletchley
From Monday to Friday, I'm a Funeral Arranger and Administrator at Heritage & Sons in Bletchley and at the weekends I’m 'Loopy Linz', a children’s party entertainer. I truly believe I have the two BEST jobs in the world; both are truly rewarding and a privilege.
For the funerals I arrange, I am entrusted with the care of a family's loved one and ensuring that they are given the best possible send-off that they could hope for. During this tremendously sad and difficult time, I also recognise that the families I help see me as a support unit. Here at Bletchley, we always tell our clients that our phones are on, and they can come to the funeral home whenever they like, we always have plenty of tea, coffee, and biscuits - a listening ear is always provided.
Arranging a funeral from start to finish and being asked by the family to attend the funeral as they take comfort in seeing a friendly and familiar face, to me, is complete job satisfaction. I absolutely love being a Funeral Arranger, CPJ Field is a lovely company to work for. My role as a Funeral Arranger and Administrator has helped me to understand the importance of family values even more especially through the Pandemic.
At weekends, I then get to create a fond childhood memory for the children I meet when I do their parties. I feel extremely honoured to have my job, and long may it continue!
