Most people use a funeral director to undertake all of the arrangements needed to organise a funeral.

Finding a funeral director

You can find a Funeral Director through the following organisations:

• Funeral Standards Council

Non-traditional ceremonies

If you would prefer a non-traditional or non-religious ceremony, the Institute of Civil Funerals , the British Humanist Association or Civil Ceremonies Limited can offer advice.

You can also find information about non-traditional, environmentally friendly and DIY funerals from the Natural Death Centre.
