Funeral directors are the professionals involved in the day to day operations of a funeral home.
In the United States, most funeral homes operate as family business. Funeral directors typically work in smaller, independent funeral homes. The owner will usually bring alongside others to help them with operations. This hired help is commonly a family member. Some funeral homes that were family-owned have been acquired and are operated by large corporations, though such homes usually operate under their pre-acquisition names.
Funeral homes include at least one visitation room, an embalming room, a chapel where services are held, and a casket selection room. A hearse is used for transportation of the deceased, a flower car, and limousines. Some will even have a small selection of coffins and urns for purchase.
To effectively manage these aspects of a funeral home, a director may utilize death care software to plan and run funerals. This software is designed to support the funeral directors. TheFuneral Home software manages the entries of the cemetery and crematory records. Continental Computers has been providing superior funeral home software to the death care industry for many years.
