Funeral directors’ other responsibilities include preparing obituary notices and distributing them to newspapers, arranging for clergy and pallbearers, scheduling the opening and closing of a grave with a representative of the cemetery, preparing and decorating the sites of all services, and ensuring transportation for the remains, mourners, and flowers between sites.
