Funeral directors are registered administrators and caregivers. From an administrative standpoint, they handle arrangements such as transportation of the body, the completion of paperwork, and initiating action surrounding the family’s choice of funeral service and burial/cremation of a body.
From a caregiving standpoint, they are compassionate listeners, supporters, and advisors during a difficult time. Funeral directors are familiar with helping the bereaved cope with death and loss, and can help them find the appropriate sources of comfort and assistance.
A registered funeral director should always be in possession of an up-to-date Certificate Of Competence issued by the Department of Health. In addition to the aforementioned certificate, a registered funeral director should also be registered at the Department of Home Affairs.
