An independent funeral director is usually a family-owned and run company as opposed to the big multinational companies that you find on the local high street. A lot of people tend to find they receive much more personal service from a small friendly family-owned company.

Families need to be aware when choosing independent funeral directors that they really are independent. The way that a multinational company's become bigger is by buying the smaller family companies and keeping the family name, although they are now owned by a multinational company. If in any doubt, you need to visit the funeral director and ask if they really are family-owned and run.

Most big towns will have multinational funeral directors. They will also have one or two small family-owned independent funeral directors and it's good advice to visit the family-owned funeral directors and decide for yourself which one you would like to use. They can be found in your local directories or on the internet.

To recap, an independent funeral director tends to be a small family firm and these can be found in your local directories and on the internet. .
