What does a Dignity funeral director do?
Here at Asian Funeral Directors we are sometimes asked what a typical day for a funeral director looks like.
We support the family ...
Asian Funeral Directors in Handsworth is available 24 hours a day, with at least one person remaining on call outside of normal opening hours. This means there is always someone on hand to offer assistance when a loved one passes away.
Although care for the departed is a critical feature of the role, so is looking after those who have been left behind. Our funeral directors have a duty of care, part of which is to reassure the family and help to ease their burden. Those experiencing loss will have choices to make regarding the funeral, and a funeral director will always endeavour to ensure those decisions are realised in the most sensitive and practical way.
