Listen to 2GB Sydney with Clinton Maynard regarding the requests of security guards at funerals.
Private security guards are a common sight at weddings and parties, but requests for their presence at funerals are on the rise.
These requests often aim to prevent conflicts among feuding family members or to keep unwanted guests, like former partners, at bay.
Gina Field, Operational Security Expert and founder of Nepean Regional Security, reveals to Clinton that female guards are particularly suited for these situations due to their strong emotional intelligence and ability to defuse tensions.
Some families even extend security to the wake, where heightened emotions and alcohol can spark further conflict.
