Jobs And Responsibility Of A Funeral Director
If you are an aspiring funeral director or
someone looking for good funeral directors, then
this blog is for you. There are many jobs and
responsibilities associated with this profession,
and to help you out, here are some of
them.   Lets start with the services that a
funeral director can offer. The first is
embalming. Now not all funeral directors will be
licensed or trained as morticians big Funeral
Homes in Westchester, FL often have these two
jobs separate. The role of an embalmer is to
preserve the body if it is not being immediately
being buried or cremated. The embalmer gives the
deceased body a natural shape and dresses him or
her in their choice of clothes. All the related
reports, records, and itemized lists of
accessories and clothes are handled by both the
embalmer and the funeral director. So, depending
on what kind of funeral home you are working for
or have employed, this will be the service of the
funeral director regarding embalming.

Another service that is rapidly rising up and
making embalming a lesser chosen service is
cremation. Now a funeral director will not be
responsible for the actual cremation unless the
funeral home in Westchester, FL has its own
crematorium. In most, the funeral director will
coordinate between the family wishing to cremate
the body and the crematorium. What he or she will
be responsible for in that case is offering the
ashes of the deceased body in the urn chosen by
the family and arranging for the memorial service
and if the family wants, the burial of the urn in
a mausoleum or burial plot. Another service that
many funeral directors are offering now is
scattering of the ashes as per the wishes of the
deceased person or their family members. Many
local laws and state laws need to be taken into
consideration if you plan to scatter the ashes in
a public space or in the sea, and hence employing
a funeral director for that is your safest bet.
