2 Common Career Paths For a Funeral Assistant
Embalmer/Funeral Director
Funeral Directors are responsible for providing services in every aspect needed for a funeral or memorial gathering on behalf of the client's family. They must assist their clients in arranging personalized and significant memorial service in coordination with the family and client's desire. They must also help veterans and their families submit an insurance claim, veterans' benefits, payment plans, and coordinate with the Social Security Administration and Veterans Administration, and coordinate burials for veterans to be endorsed at the National Cemeteries.
Funeral Director
A funeral director organizes and oversees funeral services, aiming to provide optimal service and support to grieving families. They typically meet with families to identify their needs and help them plan services, arrange transportation for the deceased, prepare and process the body for the service, and assist families every step of the way. They are also responsible for processing documents, liaising with vendors and suppliers, writing obituaries, and resolving conflicts or issues should any arise. Moreover, a funeral director must lead and delegate tasks among staff, monitoring the progress of all operations regularly.
