Most funerals are arranged through a funeral director (formerly known as an undertaker). People appreciate the assistance of an empathetic expert professional at such a difficult time when dealing with unfamiliar and sensitive arrangements. It is important to find a funeral director who belongs to one of the professional associations, such as the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) or the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), since these associations have codes of practice and complaints procedures.
Funeral directors and their staff are sensitive to how you may be feeling and you will be paying for their help and guidance, so use them to the full and ask as many questions as you want to. They are experts in all aspects of arranging a funeral and will guide you through the decisions to be made.
