Talk:Funeral director

message: I'm amazed that the keyword "Funeral services" redirects here! A Funeral Director may or may not be an aspect of a funeral service. I can envision (and would be happy to begin an article if anyone agrees) a separate article called Funeral services that details worldwide practices by geography, culture, religion, etc. With 85 million of us boomers about to bite the dust, this is a relevant article!! Anyone think this is relevant or worth doing? It would be inappropriate for this article as it is a different topic, as the "director" aspect could also be a priest, rabbi, mullah, nondenominational, etc. Let me know!Pdecalculus (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Separate Article Needed on Funeral Services?

message: A Funeral Director or FD for short is someone who cares and is often the manager of a funeral home. He/she may have apprentices, interns and/or assoiciates that help with the care taking. This person also prepares the body for a viewing, funeral or visitation (sometimes called a wake) by the embalming operation; these persons handle and guide visitors and families through the funeral process.  Almost every true FD is extremely passionate and willing to advise and demonstrate professionalism in practice of funeral rites to a spouse or the remaining family of a deceased person when that family has asked for one.
:In my experience as an assistant funeral director, not all funeral directors are involved in the preparation of the body.  I know several who aren't even licensed to embalm.  Granted, the majority of funeral directors are also embalmers, but many are not.  I've changed the article to reflect this.--5th Angel 23:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The article discusses the role of funeral directors and related professions in the UK only. Obviously it would be excessive to discuss each of the nearly 200 countries on the planet separately (I for one have no intention of researching the role of funeral directors in Guinea-Bissau, but surely something more general can be said. —Angr 21:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scotland a Third World country? 

message: Within the Embalming section it states that many UK families prefer to keep the body at their own home,  but I cannot really say this is the case, are there any facts to prove this?

thread_title:  Embalming Facts - Wrong? 

message: In all honesty, you have to believe that the professional wrestler is more commonly searched on this wiki, and all around generally referenced more then a funeral director. I'm not just saying this because I'm a wrestler or just as a fan in general, but, really, if you would check edit counts that weren't vandalism, or viewing counts the pro-wrestler would win both.
