What a funeral director does

After the death of a loved one, people are in shock and in prostration. Such people need not only psychological help, but also physical help. There is a profession of ritual agent for this purpose.

The profession of funeral agent is sometimes called one of the noble professions along with doctors or educators. They are on call day and night, as there are many deaths at any given time.

A funeral agent is a representative of a funeral company who knows everything about funeral arrangements.
A funeral agent is close to the relatives of the deceased and solves any questions, saving the bereaved from worries and troubles.

What specific services do funeral agents provide?

A funeral agent comes to the place of death. He also takes care of the necessary documentation. Then he takes the body of the deceased to the morgue. Finally, he consults and arranges for places, music, and supplies to say goodbye to the deceased.

Non-standard organization of the farewell to the deceased

Ritual agents are professionals because they listen to people and find the best options.

1. Creative Places

For example, sometimes relatives do not want to choose trivial places for farewells such as a funeral home.

In such cases, the ritual agent finds out more information about the deceased, finds out the wishes of relatives and suggests sometimes even non-standard places, based on the personality of the deceased. For example, the person was a creative person in life, then the funeral agent will do everything to agree on a museum, gallery, etc.

In such cases, the funeral agent finds out more information about the deceased, learns the wishes of relatives and offers sometimes even non-standard places, based on the personality of the deceased. For example, if the person was a creative person when he or she was alive, the funeral agent will do everything to make arrangements for a museum, gallery, etc. Thus, the organization will be at the highest level, and such a farewell will forever remain in the memory of all who said goodbye to the deceased.

2. Creative Themes

Sometimes relatives don’t want a formulaic funeral. A ritual agent comes to the rescue, creating an unforgettable atmosphere based on the hobbies or desires of the deceased in life. Examples of such unconventional farewells, such as the Bali Party, or the creation of a museum with paintings created during the life of the deceased.

Assistance of a funeral agent, not related to the funeral

A funeral agent not only fills out the documentation, cremation, organization of the funeral itself, but also solves the issues that arose afterwards.

For example, relatives of the deceased need help with their belongings. Since their thoughts are now occupied with worries, they have no time to deal with the disposal of things. There are cases when relatives want to get rid of most of the deceased person’s belongings or give them to charity, but they are not up to it. It concerns things, dishes, furniture, etc. A ritual agent helps with this. Since ritual agents have many acquaintances, colleagues and in general enough connections, they find new owners who will need things.

Sometimes after the death of a deceased person, the question arises where to give their animals. Ritual agents also help find new owners for pets.

The modern trend of organizing one’s own funeral

Today, many Americans decide to take care of their funerals now, since no one is safe from death. Many people plan all the nuances in advance: they choose a funeral service and a ritual agent, based on their preferences and financial capabilities.

At this stage, the ritual agent also helps to come up with a concept of future funeral. When the time comes, making a decision in advance will make it easier and better to organize a funeral that will be remembered by the family.
Families have more time to think through all the details to create a perfect, unique and personalized goodbye.

For a pre-planned funeral in the United States, funeral agents generally do not charge an upfront fee. Many Americans, however, also choose to fully and independently cover all the costs of their funeral arrangements in advance to make life easier for the family.
