S2E7 - Funerals and mental health, with Andy Jones

“Sometimes, people just need to be really very sad together”In this episode, we will be talking with funeral celebrant - or ‘funeralist’ - Andy Jones about funerals and mental health. We ask Andy what ingredients he thinks a funeral needs in order to best support the wellbeing of those that have lost someone.We also discuss how, as someone who spends his life around death and grieving, Andy looks after his own mental wellbeing.You can hear Andy interviewed on the Cinematologists podcast by clicking hereHe will also be interviewed on an upcoming episode of the Endings podcast, which you can find here.Follow @livelymindspod on X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more at  https://www.bio.link/livelymindsPlease note that this show does not constitute medical advice and is not a replacement for seeking professional help.
