Lost funeral photo of my Grandad working
Lost funeral photo of my Grandad working

So, clearing out some old files this week and found this lovely old photo. I think that this is a photo of my Grandad bearing at a funeral in the 1930's. As a third generation Funeral Director it's great to have this record. It's recognised throughout the trade that both my Grandads were well known Funeral Directors. One in Westminster and one in and around the Clapham area in South West London.
