We are pleased to announce the appointment of our new Community Funeral Director

We are pleased to announce the appointment of our new Community Funeral Director for the Chelmsford and Witham area, Dan Miller.

Dan has recently completed his diploma in funeral directing from the NAFD and will step up to the role in June. Dan has said this about the opportunity…

“I am very excited to be trusted with this role and to really help make a difference in my community. I have been working for the Hunnaball Family Funeral Group for the last 4 and a half years and I have learnt so much about this industry completing my diploma in funeral directing recently. I love to help with what our families and communities need from us both as a funeral director and also as a source of comfort in difficult times.

Part of my role will be visiting local care facilities to see what they need from us in terms of support and information to help them and their families for the difficult and emotional process of losing a loved one. To provide the assistance and reassurance to our families in their time of need fills me with a sense of great pride and contentment to do my bit for them, however small that may be.

Looking after people is why I got into this profession to begin with. Guiding those who may not know where to turn or who can help towards the correct resources and support is vital for a smoother grieving process. I will be running friendship groups for those who have lost a loved one to connect with others in a similar situation along with our “Laying the myths to rest” tours for industry professionals so they can have a transparent view of what we do and how we care for the loved ones in our care.

It is an honour and a privilege to have the role that I have and I cannot wait to start to make a difference.”
