Lawrence Funeral Service in Halifax has had its latest member of staff pass the Diploma in Funeral Directing.
Fiona Reinsch (formerly Lawrence) is the fifth generation of the Lawrence family to work in the business founded by her great, great grandfather, John Lawrence in 1857.

Fiona's qualification means there are eight members of the team who hold the qualification, one of the highest ratios in Yorkshire.
