MYTHS and mysteries surrounding the funeral profession were the subject of a training seminar given by Bidford funeral directors, David Baker.

The seminar was the third in a series of training talks at Salford House Car Home, in Salford Priors and was designed to assist some staff towards their NVQs.

Gabby Sanchez from the funeral directors said: "We have for the past seven years been offering our free seminars to local care homes as we have found it helps care staff to have a better understanding of our role within the community."

Diana Bacon from the care home went on to say: "We encourage all our staff to attend a wide range of training in order to offer our residents the most professional care and we were delighted that Gabby was able to present his talks."
