How do I choose a funeral director?

As with any other service provider, it is often best to ring around three or four local funeral directors, ask for a quote and make a decision based on the estimates provided. We acknowledge that it would be a very stressful time so asking friends, neighbours or family for recommendations can work well.

When asking for quotes, ensure that these services/responsibilities are included. This is important as these are usually forgotten and consumers are hit with surprises.

Organise suitable transport to transport mourners on the day of the funeral service

Arrange for notices to be placed in newspapers or online

Organise pall bearers – if relevant

Provide service sheets and attendance cards

The funeral director may become the collecting point for donations to charity should this be requested rather than floral tributes

Organise a post service venue with refreshments for mourners as required

Organise the removal of the deceased to a chapel of rest until the funeral is held

Provide different options and choices for burial services and cremation services

Provide different types of coffin or casket along with options on furnishings

Arrange the time and date of the burial service at either a crematorium or relevant place of worship

Arrange for a suitable official to facilitate the funeral service

Arrange for music and any other requirement such as specific floral tributes at the venue

Arrange for people to view the body and pay their last respects before the funeral

Arrange for the disposal of funeral flowers when required

Arrange for the collection and disposal of ashes after cremation
