The qualities you should be looking for in a funeral director, firstly, is that you feel comfortable with them. You want a funeral director who you can connect and talk with, and who understands what your needs are. The other thing is I would look at is the longevity of the funeral director that you're going to. Make sure that they've been in the community a long time. You can also check with government agencies to make sure that they are a licensed funeral director, they are in good standing and that they have provided good service in the past.
