What does the funeral director do?
Funeral directors serve as administrators and care givers. They make all the arrangements for the transportation of the deceased, see that the choices of the family regarding the funeral and final disposition of the body are followed through, and complete all of the necessary paperwork. As care givers, they are available to the family and friends as listeners, advisors, and supporters. With their experience serving others, they have the knowledge necessary to answer questions about grief, wisdom to help those who are having difficulty dealing with the loss, and can recommend other professional help if needed.
