The Role of The Funeral Director

The role of the funeral director is to guide you and your family through your immediate grief and distress.

Your consultant will ease the burden during your sorrow. He or she will look after every aspect of the funeral service, helping you to choose flowers, venue, time, coffin and whether to employ clergy or celebrant at a service. Newspaper advertisements and all of the legal requirements are professionally completed with a minimum of fuss. The choices are yours to make.  And after the funeral is over, your consultant is still available to provide follow-up care, counselling and support if you require it.

Albert and Meyer are different. In recent times many smaller funeral homes have been monopolised by larger US-based companies with centralised operations, and the rationale for the existence some of these larger chain-companies seems based on numbers, dollars, and sales volume.

Albert & Meyer is a family concern, owned by David and Melissa Walker. Our size, family values, and traditions allow us to provide support and guidance in a caring and personal manner.

From the time you meet them, either at our offices or in your own home, your Albert & Meyer consultant will remain as a personal contact, and will attend the funeral service to guide and support you on the day.
