Q. Do we need to use funeral directors?

Do we need to use funeral directors?

The simple answer is no. BUT, very rarely do families choose to not involve funeral directors. When faced with statutory requirements, making arrangements for a venue, officiant, catering, flowers, placing newspaper notices, etc,  along with the volume of paperwork required to be completed, families usually realize that it is best to divest this responsibility to a funeral director who can take care of everything for the family in the way the family direct.
