Wes Heritage is a former Australian Rules footballer who gave the game away to focus on the family business - burying people.
And while some of his former team-mates went on to greatness, the hard working funeral director chose a different path.
Each year, Heritage oversees more than 600 funerals - ensuring families and their loved ones are given nothing but the best support and care in a most difficult time.
Death awaits us all yet we never really explore the funeral process until it’s bestowed upon us.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you die, Heritage has the answers on a Chiming In podcast of a very different kind.
