"It’s an absolute privilege to be able to help those who are no longer able to help themselves,” Laura continued. “I also love being able to care for someone who has passed away and restore them to their former self, in a way that would help their family and loved ones say their final goodbyes. “I allowed myself to pursue an old passion for looking after families during their time of bereavement and soon realised, it was not the living left behind that I wanted to take care of, but the deceased.”
