Who is responsible for a funeral?
The immediate family of the deceased is responsible. They need to be aware if any prearrangements have been made.
What do funeral directors do?

They make arrangements for transportation of the remains, complete all needed paperwork and implement the special choices made by family members regarding the funeral and final disposition of the remains.
Why do most people choose to have a public viewing?
Viewing is part of tradition for many people who consider it part of closure. It helps give support to family members, showing them that others care also. Most grief specialists feel that it helps the grieving process by making the bereaved recognize the reality of death.
