The Unnoticed Yet Essential Role of a Funeral Director
The job of a funeral director is perhaps, the most shunned in the world. Nevertheless, a funeral service director is someone whom you will inevitably meet in the future, no matter how unlikely because death is a certainty after all. While at birth, a person has a doctor, nurse or a midwife to attend to him, a funeral service director is one who takes care not just of one’s physical body after death but he also will offer an ounce of condolence and comfort to the bereaved.
A funeral director is responsible for embalming the body, cleaning it from time to time amidst the wake, applying prosthetics, dressing the body and doing other necessary things to make sure the body is taken with care while it is not yet buried or cremated.
Immediately after the death of somebody, a funeral director will have to arrange for the chapel where the body is to be laid for the wake and eventually for the funeral service. He contacts the minister who is to lead the service but he first will consult with the bereaved family as the choice of minister depends on the family’s religious persuasion. Then, he will have to write the obituary by himself or delegate it to others and send it to the local newspapers for publication.
Plus, he needs to call in the musician, the people who will deliver the eulogies, the emotional tone of the wake and the funeral service, the hearse and even all other details of the wake and the funeral.
Even beyond going above his pay grade, a funeral service director comforts the bereaved and gives the proper perspective on a death of a loved one. After all, he is the most qualified person to do that because of his profession that is tied with somebody’s death.
Indeed, every detail of somebody’s death, funeral, cremation or burial are all taken care by a funeral director. Without him, the world will become less likely to cope with the death of a loved one.
More so, you do not have to fear funeral service directors. They are just humans who make living from death.
