Augustine Owino, 45, has been feted as the best mortician for setting up modern mortuaries and embalming services in over six hospitals across the country.
Owino was awarded during the 8th Annual Funeral Conference for morticians organised by the Funeral Service Association of Kenya (Fusak) at Bliss Hotel in Mombasa. An elated Owino received the trophy and certificate in Mombasa from Dr Edith Churchman, a renowned American licensed funeral home director and embalmer from New Jersey in the United States.
