Death is one of the harsh truths of our existence that we are least prepared for. Honouring the dead is an age old practice that has been continuously changing to suit the modern times. Traditionally, the funeral service used to take place at the church with chanting of solemn hymns and a eulogy. But, as a larger number of people are looking forward to personalized services, the practice has witnessed a change over the years.
Death is normally followed by overbearing sorrow and distress, leaving family and friends inconsolable and sentimentally overwhelmed by the departure of a loved one. However, making appropriate arrangements for the funeral still requires to be attended to and this will require the choice of a suitable casket.
Undertakers or funeral directors are probably the most significant people, other than the close relatives and clergy to be associated with the funeral service. These are professionals who aid you in conducting the funeral, right from the start to the end. Most undertakers consider their tasks as an emergency service, where they have to be available all the time throughout the year and day.
