What role does the funeral director fill?

Funeral directors are there to help. They are listeners and counselors, tribute planners and crisis managers. Through discussions with you, based on information you share about your wishes and details about your loved one, they are able to offer guidance and help you coordinate a very personal tribute. The funeral director can guide you through planning the service; completing paperwork; and coordinate doctors, ministers, florists, newspapers and other vendors. They can also link you to support groups.
