Meet the funeral care mother-daughter duo who dye hair and give facials to the deceased

A mother is celebrating ten years of starting a 'funeral care duo' with her daughter after she was unhappy about how her late father was treated. Michelle Slinn, 56, works for the Co-op Funeralcare chain and interviewed her daughter on her 21st birthday and said she would be "brilliant".

The pair share a home in Walthamstow, London and have honoured families' wishes by dyeing the hair of the deceased as well as giving facials. Michelle, is based in the same area having previously looked after funerals carried out by 14 different branches.

She now works as a funeral arranger after stepping down to become special guardian to four-year-old twins. Jodie, 25, is based in Hackney and also works as one.
