Some funeral homes are moving away from the family-run model and that initial phone call might connect you with a representative from a subsidiary location and the people you're working with can come from a large pool of staff, which can feel impersonal. So much of a funeral director's work happens behind the scenes, tending to tasks that most families won't ever know about.
For Larry, Bill and Colleen, of Mitchell Funeral Home, and Derek Shelly, who recently retired as a minister at Huntsville's Trinity United Church, funerals play a significant role in supporting those who are grieving, bringing people together and paying a fitting tribute to the deceased.
