When Andy Holter sees his first dead body he is riveted. He also knows he’s found his vocation. 

He leaves the police and decides to become a funeral director. We discuss working with death, the mourners that get forgotten and why some people are actually quite pleased to see the back of us. 

This episode includes references to suicide so listener discretion is advised.
