This year s theme is “Choose to Challenge”. To mark the event, the SNJ has spoken to female funeral director Victoria Millross about her life in what has traditionally been a male-dominated profession, and also about the challenges the pandemic poses for the funeral sector. Victoria has worked at Philip Ford and Son in Stroud, part of Dignity Funerals, for five years. She said she became interested in the profession after suffering a close bereavement. “I was working in a restaurant when I suffered a very close bereavement, losing a cousin that was a similar age to me,” she said. “It was the first family funeral I could remember, and I was overwhelmed by the care and attention to detail of the funeral director.
