Lana Wilson-Agate - Funeral Arranger and Funeral Director
Lana embarked on a significant career change when she joined TDM Funeral Services in 2023, transitioning from a long-standing profession in mechanics to the compassionate and rewarding field of funeral services. Her decision to retrain as a Funeral Arranger and Trainee Funeral Director was deeply personal, inspired by the profound experience of losing a loved one. This pivotal moment in her life fuelled a desire to support others during their times of need, guiding them through the complexities of planning and ensuring that each service is a meaningful reflection of the individual being honoured.
Lana is deeply committed to providing exceptional care to the families she serves. She approaches her role with empathy and dedication, striving to create ceremonies that are both unique and affordable, tailoring each service to meet the specific wishes and needs of those left behind. Her meticulous attention to detail and heartfelt approach ensure that every family feels supported and understood during one of the most challenging times of their lives.
Beyond her professional life, Lana finds joy and balance in spending time with her loved ones. She lives with her wife, their daughter Hattie, and their beloved Chihuahua. Together, they cherish family moments, whether it’s exploring new destinations during their travels or simply enjoying each other’s company at home. Lana’s love for her family and her passion for travel reflect her deep appreciation for life’s precious moments, a perspective that she brings into her work with every family she helps.Jamie King - Funeral Director

Debbie Fortune joined the funeral industry in 2018, inspired by a deeply personal experience. After her mother passed away from cancer, she felt compelled to give back, having witnessed the funeral home’s utmost respect and care. From the moment she started her first role, Debbie knew she had found her calling and committed herself wholeheartedly to the profession. Later, during the first wave of lockdown, her father passed away, and the funeral home staff once again treated him with great care and respect. These experiences strengthened Debbie’s commitment to ensuring that same level of compassion for every family and loved one in her care. She regards it as both an honour and a privilege to support families in their time of need.
On a personal note, Debbie has been married to her wonderful husband for 34 years. They have four grown children and two cherished grandchildren, who mean the world to her.Jo Mears - Funeral Arranger
Jo has been an integral part of the funeral industry for the past four years, bringing with her a lifetime of exposure and understanding, having grown up around the business owned by her family. Following the profound loss of both her mother and grandmother within a span of two weeks, Jo felt a calling to channel her exceptional people skills into the funeral profession. This personal experience has deepened her empathy and commitment to helping families during their most vulnerable moments. Jo is passionate about her role, finding it a true honour to support grieving families, and she feels deeply enriched by the stories she hears about loved ones who have passed.
As a single mother of three older children, whom she adores, Jo balances her professional and personal life with grace. She cherishes spending quality time with her family and friends, enjoying social activities, and taking leisurely walks with her beloved pug. Jo’s dedication to her job and her ability to connect with people make her a compassionate and invaluable member of our team.Abbie Bunn - Funeral Services Team Member
I began my career in the funeral industry in Australia, joining Invocare in 2024, where I quickly discovered a genuine passion for the profession. Supporting families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives has been incredibly meaningful, and it’s a field I’ve been committed to ever since.
After returning to the UK in May 2025, I continued my journey with TDM Funerals, where I thrive on helping others and find the role deeply rewarding. Outside of work, I’m a full-time mum to my young daughter. We enjoy spending our free time together on days out at the park and doing plenty of arts and crafts.Harry Nelson - Funeral Director
