Death care refers to the services and practices associated with the management of deceased individuals. This includes a range of activities such as funeral services, cremation, and burial. Professionals in this field, often called funeral directors or morticians, help families navigate the process of honoring their loved ones, providing support during a difficult time.
In addition to the physical handling of remains, death care encompasses the emotional and logistical aspects of planning memorial services. This may involve coordinating with cemeteries, preparing obituaries, and offering grief support resources. Overall, death care aims to provide respectful and compassionate services to families in mourning.
