A simple funeral
Most people would probably require the funeral director to provide the following services as a minimum:
- Make all the necessary funeral service arrangements
- Provide an appropriate amount of staff
- Provide a suitable coffin
- Transfer of the deceased from the place of death to the funeral directors premises
- Care for the deceased prior to the funeral
- Provision of a hearse to the nearest crematorium or cemetery
- Arrange for cremation or burial as appropriate
Embalming, viewing of the deceased, or provision of a limousine for mourners are normally optional extras.
