University offers funeral degree

A university has won permission to become the first college in the country to offer a degree course in funerals.

The University of Bath will initially offer a foundation degree for funeral directors covering all aspects of the profession from bereavement counselling to law, customer service and disposal of remains.

The foundation degree will take place over two years, with the opportunity for students to convert the qualification to a bachelor's degree over an additional year.
