Mental Health

Mental health is a critical concern within the funeral profession, where staff regularly face emotionally demanding situations, exposure to grief, and the pressures of operating in sensitive, high-responsibility environments. Supporting the wellbeing of funeral directors, arrangers, crematoria staff, and others in the sector is essential to maintaining resilience and professional care standards. Funeral Service Times covers mental health initiatives, workplace support programmes, sector guidance, training, and cultural shifts—helping funeral professionals prioritise wellbeing in a field where emotional labour is both constant and deeply personal.
