Just 18 years old in 2006, Mr Nicky Teo Chin Li coordinated his first funeral. It was a day he will always remember.

'The deceased had died suddenly from a heart attack. When the body came back from embalming, the whole family began wailing uncontrollably. And when he was cremated, his wife just fainted,' he said.

Mr Teo, now 21 and reportedly Singapore's youngest funeral director, has come a long way since. Together with his company, Funeral Solutions (Singapore), the O-level holder has coordinated more than 100 funerals.
