Here are two facts about funeral preparations that might surprise you. The people who knew the deceased best do not necessarily have to handle all of the preparations It's commonly assumed that the people who knew the deceased best, such as their partner or immediate family members are responsible for handling the funeral preparations and that no-one else is allowed to be involved in this process. However, whilst it's definitely more common for a deceased person's spouse, adult children or parents to take care of things like the ordering of the casket and its flower spray, booking the chapel and hiring a clergyperson, there are many situations in which it is either necessary or easier for someone who didn't know the deceased particularly well to do these things.
