Many have come and many have gone but none quite like Norman Sackfield stuck around in places where you would be hard pressed to find a doughnut and cup of coffee but then Norman was passionate about his job.

It had its ups and downs but then that was grave digging for you. The only places you could sit would give you piles and a thermal flask was as good as it got apart from maybe the peace and quiet, macabre as it was, and the fact none of the customers moaned about the lack of cushions in their coffins.
