Seventeen year old George Simnett may have become the youngest funeral director to have set up his own business. He has started running the business following two months of learning how to prepare and clean bodies for funerals.
At present the company is run from the premises of Charnwood Funeral Services in Leicestershire, which is where George learnt the trade.
He initially intended to work in the farming trade as per tradition in his family, however after attending agricultural college he found the money he was earning was not enough to make a wage.
