What are the job duties of funeral directors?

Funeral directors are licensed professionals who specialize in each part of funerals and all related services. They plan visitations and ceremonies, prepare the deceased, provide support to the family, assist with legal/insurance paperwork, and handle removal/transportation of the deceased. They also help grieving families with resources and recommendations.

Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?

The Federal Trade Commission states that embalming is not required by law, except in certain special cases. It may be necessary for arrangements like a funeral with viewing. If embalming is not desired, arrangements like direct cremation or immediate burial can be chosen.

What's the purpose of a viewing?

A viewing (also known as a wake, visitation, or calling hours) is a central part of saying goodbye. It can be open or closed casket and gives families a last chance to see their loved one, helping them accept the loss and move forward in their grieving journey.

If we choose cremation, can we still have a viewing and a funeral service?

Absolutely. A viewing is beneficial for honoring and remembering a loved one. Cremation can occur before or after the funeral service based on family preferences.

Should I bring my children to the funeral service?

This depends on your judgment. Consider if your child is old enough to understand death and if the service will be meaningful to them. Children need to express grief, but it's up to you to decide if they should attend. Explain what they will see and experience beforehand, set behavioral expectations, and remove them if they become noisy or too upset.
