Funeral Attendant Resume

Funeral attendants provide much relief to the grieved families in bidding final adieu to their departed loved ones. They take care of transporting the deceased from the hospital/home to the cemetery, coordinate and oversee the funeral preparation and burial, arrange for coffins, and ensure the last wish of the departed one is fulfilled.

Since death invokes lots of emotion, the funeral attendant has to be mentally strong. He/she must be matured in consoling the grieving family, and handling the funeral procedures on his/her own. There are several funeral homes in the city that provide services in laying the deceased to rest. If paying respect to the deceased is your liking, search for a job modifying this job application sample.
