The company said: “BBC presenter Stacey Dooley has been filming across our business with her team for a new documentary commissioned by BBC Factual, to uncover what goes on behind the scenes at a funeral directors.
“The ground-breaking programme, called Stacey Dooley: Inside the Undertakers, sees Stacey spend around a week immersed in our family business, facing her fear of death head on.
“She got involved in our day-to-day work to discover more about what we do – from arranging funerals to making coffins, learning more about embalming to carving elaborate headstones.”
Stacey said: “Death is a topic that’s openly discussed in many other cultures, even celebrated in some instances, yet I am so awkwardly British about the whole thing.
“It is, of course, inevitable, and that’s why I wanted to really explore exactly what happens when we do die.
