Fintan Cooney had a successful career in advertising, spending 25 years in the industry and rising to a senior level. However, his interest in the funeral undertaking business, which his great great grandfather started in Dublin, never waned. He had even considered opening a funeral home in Mullingar, but the opportunity slipped away when someone else beat him to it. As Fintan's advertising career progressed, he started to question if it was truly what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, which led him to seriously consider making a career change.
