The Legacy of Undertakers
The term ‘undertaker’ has evolved over centuries, originally describing coffin builders who occasionally assisted with funerals. In the late 1800s, ‘mortician’ became the preferred term, reflecting a more professional image. Today, ‘funeral director’ is often used interchangeably with ‘undertaker’ and ‘mortician,’ highlighting the comprehensive role of organizing and managing funeral services. At undertakers.com, we honor this rich history while providing compassionate care and support to families during their time of need.
