Sometimes life takes the long way home — and that’s exactly what happened with David Button. From soldiering in Belfast to driving buses around Ipswich, and now running his own funeral service, David’s story is about finding purpose in unexpected places.

We talk about how army discipline turned into everyday resilience, how loss and depression shaped his empathy, and what it really takes to show up for families on their hardest days. From coroner callouts to late-night callouts, from checklists to quiet kindness, this is about doing meaningful work with heart (and polished shoes).

If you like stories of second chances, steady leadership, and finding calm in chaos, you’ll love this one.
