Here is what Oxfordshire County Council has to say about Funeral Directors:

Choosing a funeral.A funeral can be either by burial or by cremation. You can organise it with or without the help of a funeral director and personalise it as much as you wish. In some cases the deceased may have planned their own funeral in advance.There are many different types of funeral and it is useful to remember that:

• you can decide for yourself what form any ceremony you choose to have should take
• you do not have to use a funeral director – though the vast majority of people do
• you can choose a religious, humanist or civil ceremony
• you do not have to use a clergyman unless you want an Anglican service
• you can choose a ceremony that reflects any religious beliefs or multicultural traditions
• you don’t have to hold the funeral ceremony in a licensed building – it can be held in your home
• your ceremony does not have to take place in a crematorium or place of worship
• you can be buried on private land, such as your own garden, as long as there is nothing in the deeds restricting the use of the property. However, you must inform your local planning office and environmental health department (only one burial is allowed without planning permission).

Role of the Oxfordshire Funeral Director.

The majority of people choose to use a professional funeral director. This can help during what is generally a stressful time, and will ensure that the remains of the deceased are dealt with in a dignified way. Your funeral director can advise you about the options available to you.

Choosing a funeral director.

Friends, family, clergy or your doctor may be able to recommend local funeral directors. Most local companies are listed in the telephone directory.Most funeral directors are members of one of two trade associations:National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD)Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF)Member companies must provide you with a price list on request and cannot exceed any written estimate they give you without your permission.
