They're the people nobody (and everybody) is dying to meet.

Also known as an undertaker or a mortician, it's a role I've always been intrigued to learn more about. And thanks to Today FM's Dermot and Dave, now I have.

Jonathan Stafford is the current Funeral Director of Staffords Funeral Homes in Dublin and has worked in the industry for over a decade. The perfect candidate for #AskMeAnything

Mr Stafford was asked about the training involved? What a hearse is like to manouevre? (much trickier than you'd imagine), How does he deal with annoying relatives? And how would he like his own funeral to go? Not morbid at all.

He also reveals a surprising fact about the most popular times of the year to die and why the death toll has slowed down a bit.

And there's the strangest request he's ever received - involving a die-hard Dublin GAA fan. A true blue!
