Which profession would typically interview family members to arrange funeral ceremonies?

• A. Embalmer
• B. Funeral Director
• C. RN
• D. Genetic Counselor

Answer: (B)

Handling and coordinating funeral ceremonies is the realm of a funeral director. They meet with family members to understand their wishes, discuss service details (where and when, type of service, music, readings, and who speaks), arrange transportation, and coordinate with cemeteries or crematories, clergy or celebrants, and necessary paperwork. This role blends logistics with sensitivity to cultural and religious preferences, guiding families through planning during a difficult time. An embalmer prepares the body for viewing and does not typically take on ceremony planning. A registered nurse provides medical care and family support in clinical settings, not funeral logistics. A genetic counselor focuses on genetic testing and risk assessment for relatives, not arranging funerals.
