Choosing a funeral directorThe funeral director is there to help you with every aspect of the funeral and it's therefore important you choose a company that are able to meet your needs, and your budget.

 

Typically, in addition to caring for the deceased at their chapel of rest, the funeral director's role might involve some or all of the following:

 

  • booking the church and/or crematorium/cemetery
  • liaising with ministers and other funeral officials
  • selecting the service format eg religious or nondenominational
  • choosing the music, eg a choir, an organist or CDs
  • organising transport to and from the service
  • selecting a coffin
  • arranging flowers and catering
  • sourcing the printing of service sheets
  • arranging newspaper obituary notices and charity donations

 

In short, they can take as much of the burden from you as you want during what is sure to be a difficult and distressing time.
