Talk:Funeral director
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A funeral director is someone who runs, and is often the undertaker of a funeral home. He/she may have apprentices that help with the care taking. This person also prepares the body for embalming and for a viewing, if the person or remaining family has asked for one.
- In my experience as an assistant funeral director, not all funeral directors are involved in the preparation of the body. I know several who aren't even licensed to embalm. Granted, the majority of funeral directors are also embalmers, but many are not. I've changed the article to reflect this.--5th Angel 23:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide view
The article discusses the role of funeral directors and related professions in the UK only. Obviously it would be excessive to discuss each of the nearly 200 countries on the planet separately (I for one have no intention of researching the role of funeral directors in Guinea-Bissau, but surely something more general can be said. —Angr 21:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
