What does a Dignity Funeral Director do?
We are often asked “what is a typical day here at W Kaye & Son?” Or “what do your funeral directors do?”
Support the family ...
One of our funeral directors is on call 24-hours a day to ensure support is available whenever it's needed. There is no typical day at W Kaye and Son because of our promise to care for the Leeds community, no matter the hour.
Caring for the deceased is our primary role; however, we also offer emotional support to the families left behind. Arranging a funeral for your loved one can be an overwhelming process. The family member organising the service can sometimes get forgotten amidst the preparations.

Hearing stories about the deceased's life enables us to understand the kind of person they were. This information helps us to provide recommendations on the service and prepare a genuinely personal celebration of life.
During this challenging time, dealing with formalities such as signing paperwork can be daunting. To help, we guide families through arranging the funeral. We will advise on a range of tasks such as completing necessary administration in a timely manner.
