Most people choose to entrust the organisation of a funeral to a professional funeral director.
They do so partly for reasons of convenience at what is generally a stressful time, but also to ensure that the remains of the deceased are disposed of with dignity and propriety. Friends, family, clergy or your doctor may be able to suggest reputable organisations, but the trade associations might also be helpful.
