A funeral director, also known as an undertaker or mortician, is a licensed professional who manages funeral arrangements. Their responsibilities often include embalming, burial or cremation, and organizing the funeral ceremony. They may also dress, casket, and cosmetize the deceased, provided they have the proper licenses. Funeral directors can be employed by a funeral home or work independently.
