She is conducting research into death rites among contemporary Druids in the UK.  In addition to her Ph.D. research, which she is conducting on a part-time basis, she is also co-owner and director of a funeral home that forms part of a growing movement in the UK towards greater openness, honesty and authenticity in the way funerals are arranged and conducted In this capacity she has helped to re-imagine and design funeral rituals that are relevant to those involved and has provided help and advice with ‘home funerals’.
