How can a funeral director help?
A. Today, funerals are usually arranged and conducted by licensed and trained funeral directors/embalmers who handle all the technical arrangements of a funeral as well as to counsel on many of the personal ones. The services he/she provides include, but are not excluded to, removing the deceased from the place of death; obtaining the required legal documents and transportation permits; preparing the body for viewing, if desired; providing facilities for the funeral visitation/wake and funeral service; and transporting the deceased and the mourners to the place of final disposition. The funeral director also provides grief counsel and other support to the family and other mourners.
