Stacey Dooley: Inside the Undertakers will see the RTS Award-winning presenter learn all about undertaking at the UK's busiest family-run funeral business.

The BBC has presented the film as an unofficial follow-up to Inside the Convent, in which Dooley opened up about her fear of death to the nuns she was staying with, only for her curiosity to remain unsatisfied.

Motherhood has only exacerbated that fear and so, in a bid to overcome it, Dooley has signed up to look death square in the face.

She will be immersing herself in the day-to-day business of the A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service, from arranging funerals and making coffins to embalming and carving headstones.

She will also be following several real funerals from start to finish, to explore other people's stories and the role of faiths and beliefs in the modern day.

On her approach to death, Dooley commented: “Death is a topic that’s openly discussed in many other cultures, even celebrated in some instances, yet I am so awkwardly British about the whole thing!

"It is, of course, inevitable, and that’s why I wanted to really explore exactly what happens when we do die. This access allows us to ponder the bigger questions surrounding life, as well as witness the practical logistics of a funeral.”

Stacey Dooley: Inside the Undertakers is produced by Firecracker Films, presented by Stacey Dooley in association with Little Dooley, and will air on BBC One.
