Why Funeral Directors Have Had To Adapt
Over the past couple of decades, society has begun to think about death differently, and funeral directors have had to meet these new needs. These days, funeral homes are more of a 'one stop shop', offering services that range from floral tributes to lasting keepsakes.
For an increasing amount of people, whilst loss and grief are obviously still at its core, the funeral of a loved one is an opportunity to celebrate their life, rather than mourn the loss of it. Strictly black attire and solemn hymns have slowly been giving way to the occasional introduction of subtle color and even favorite pop songs. Funeral directors have needed to follow this cultural drift and offer a broader range of services to fit both with this more contemporary approach as well as the traditional one still favored by many people, particularly by the older generations.
Since the option of pre-payment was introduced around thirty years ago, pre-paid funeral plans have steadily been on the increase. A growing number even go beyond this, not only paying for their own funeral in advance, but planning the ceremony itself, so the family approaches the funeral director knowing the full wishes of their loved one.
To act as efficient as they can, funeral directors also need to be aware of the shifting business of life. As well as dealing first-hand with grief, they can offer counseling, help with legal matters and financial guidance. Rather than the 'body-centered' service of earlier years, these days the profession is significantly more knowledge-based.
From a financial point of view, funeral directors have seen the profit margin reduce quite substantially. This has led to many expanding their range of services and products, including online obituaries and creative keepsakes.
Funeral directors will have to persist with adapting their services for many years to come. However, whatever changes the future brings with it, their role will remain sensitive and practical.

With origins dating back to 1853, E.F. Box are one of the oldest funeral directors within the UK. They offer a range of funeral services across a variety of faiths, beliefs and ways of celebrating life.
