FUNERAL director Michelle Weare has marked ten years serving the Stroud community.
Mrs Weare joined Philip Ford and Sons in Cainscross Road in 2004 after working as a personal assistant.
Originally she had only planned to try the funeral profession for a short while but ended up liking the work so much that she stayed.
“I enjoy the contact with the families, helping and guiding them through the process,” said Michelle.
“You know you’ve made things a little bit easier for someone.”
