What do funeral directors do?
There are several duties that a funeral director has. This includes the organising of a funeral and the day-to-day running of the funeral home too. They will facilitate meetings with the family or whoever is organising the service of the deceased in order to understand the funeral details and offer guidance to them during this process.
As society moves forward, the way funerals are carried out has changed too. The emphasis on funeral customs in the UK has changed in recent years.

This change in outlook has resulted in an increased need for emotional support and empathy in funeral home workers.
