Cannock siblings undertake unusual career choice

Jack O'Malley is used to people thinking he's too young to do his job. At 25, he's a funeral director. He opened O'Malley Family Funerals in 2017 in Cannock.

His older brother Luke, 26, and his sister Grace, 21, now both work alongside him.

The 51-year-old from Burntwood, in Staffordshire, died of pancreatic cancer in April. She had been diagnosed in March but her treatment was delayed because of coronavirus.

It was privilege to meet Brenda before she passed away to ensure she got the farewell she deserved. Her NHS colleagues and friends paid tribute to her in such a thoughtful way 💖
