What does a Dignity Funeral Director do?
We sometimes get asked what a typical day for a funeral director, here at Ronald P Sherry & Son, looks like.
Support the family...
At Ronald P Sherry & Son Funeral Directors, someone is here every step of the way. At least one Funeral Director remains on call 24 hours a day, meaning that no matter what time a loved one passes, someone is available to meet the family and begin offering support.
Although care for the departed is a critical feature of the role, of equal importance are those left behind. Funeral Directors have a duty of care to families, reassuring them and providing guidance. Those experiencing loss may feel overwhelmed by decisions they have to make regarding funeral arrangements, which is why we are always there to offer advice through this process.
