Undertaker blasted for making a funeral 'all about himself'

An undertaker has been blasted for making a funeral 'all about himself' with a 'creepy' march in front of the hearse.

The funeral director company posted to TikTok showing an undertaker leading the hearse in what they call a 'centuries-old tradition'.

The video posted by Matthew Uden-Funeral Director, was captioned saying the tradition is 'full of respect, and it shows that every farewell is accompanied by love, guidance and care'.

The undertaker, Mr Uden, said the tradition was 'originally to alert people to a passing funeral so they could pause and pay their respects'.

However, some believed that the undertaker was instead making the funeral 'about himself'.
