A woman has become a TikTok sensation after revealing what day-to-day life is like as a funeral director - as she wins over fans with her remarkably relaxed attitude towards death. Inez Capps, 32, a funeral director who runs Kinton and Daughter alongside her parents in Long Eaton, Nottingham, has recently amassed thousands of followers for sympathetic but her no-nonsense attitude to the end of life.

The popular TikTok star - who now boasts more than 100,000 followers on the social media platform - recently appeared on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour where she spoke candidly with the presenter, Nuala McGovern, about her unusual profession and the taboos that surround it.

Discussing why she started making TikTok videos, Inez told the Radio 4 presenter: 'I just wanted to show people that behind this name, of funeral director and conductors, there was a human behind it and that human can be very approachable.'. She also revealed the extra lengths she has gone to in order to make funeral services special for families - including some wacky requests.

Inez has previously dressed up as Wonder Woman and sported a 'full Star Trek outfit' for a family who were particularly big fans of the sci-fi show. She also danced at the funeral for a person who had been passionate about line dancing. Despite Inez being able to see the lighter side of death, she discussed with Nuala why she thinks some people find it so uncomfortable to think and talk about.
