Do Funeral Directors Work 9 AM to 5 PM?
Funeral directors play a critical role in providing support and care during some of life’s most challenging moments. They are typically on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which requires a high level of flexibility and commitment to meeting the needs of families, regardless of the time or day.
For instance, after receiving a late-night call, a funeral director will normally return to the office early the next morning to continue their responsibilities. At Anthony Barton Funeral Services, while standard business hours are maintained during the day, the team emphasises their availability around the clock.
Anthony says, “We work whenever a family needs help, highlighting the dedication of funeral directors to accommodate the needs of the families that we care for at any time."
Additionally, the responsibilities of funeral directors extend beyond the funeral services themselves.
Aftercare is a vital aspect of their work, as we provide ongoing support for those who are grieving. This support can continue throughout the first year and beyond, as they actively seek out local bereavement groups and community groups to help individuals who may be struggling with their loss.
