Responsibilities
A death is a traumatic experience and can also be complex one requiring interaction with different state bodies and ensuring the correct paperwork is completed. One of the key responsibilities of a Funeral Director is taking the worry about this process away from the family. Once you call us we can use our experience to liaise with the appropriate bodies and ensure all legalities are followed.
We will consult with the family of the deceased at the Hospital, Nursing Home or Family Residence and take the time to understand what they want and how best to carry out their wishes.
