Raegan is a funeral director, and part of her job involves putting make-up on those who have passed away.

In this episode, Raegan takes us through how she got into working in funeral care, the moment she saw a deceased for the first time, and what a day in the life of a Funeral Cosmetologist is really like.

We also hear a moving conversation Raegan has with her Godfather Stephen about what it was like to arrange a funeral for someone very important in her life. Stephen's mother passed away suddenly but already had some unusual requests prepared for her funeral.
