Death, funerals and cremations: Short guide to arranging a funeral

Choosing a funeral director

Funeral directors will manage funeral arrangements on your behalf and provide advice and support. It is advisable to check if the funeral director you choose belongs to a trade association. This requires them to provide full information about their service and prices.

These factors may influence your choice:

  • Location of the funeral directors premises
  • Range of services provided
  • The way you are treated by the staff
  • Cost of providing the service
  • Recommendations from people who have used the service
  • Ownership (is it a small family business or a large firm)
