We all have a beginning to our lives and we will all have an ending.
At the end it is the work of morticians to look after our bodies when we die and to prepare them for burial.
It is an incredibly important job, but one that most of us give no thought to.
One person who is trying to change that is Filinda Wakuthi Kamau, a mortician and funeral director in Kenya. She publishes TikTok videos, using the handle @frimahkuthi, which get up to 25 million views, to demystify her work and get us talking a bit more about death.
Alan Kasujja called her up at Egerton University Funeral Home where she works to find out why.
