Working with us
How do you become a funeral director?
Many people have told us that they think they would like to work as funeral directors but have not been able to find out more about what that involves.
We believe that it is important to be transparent about what it is like to work in funeral care so that we can encourage capable and motivated people into the profession.
We hope the video below tells you a little more about working in funeral care and please scroll down to find out more about how to arrange a funeral care taster day, and more about joining our team at Full Circle.
Funeral care Taster Day
To help people understand more about funeral care so that they can decide whether it is the right career for them we offer some people the opportunity to come and spend time with us.
Similarly, some people have approached us because they work in an allied profession (such as being a celebrant, nurse, or bereavement support worker) and would like to understand more about funerals and funeral care so that they can provide better, more holistic care for the people they support.
Find out more
If you are interested in finding out more about being a funeral director or gaining some “behind the scenes” insight, then please get in touch and we will discuss the next steps with you. This is likely to involve a face-to-face or virtual meeting so we can understand how we can help. We may also ask you to complete a short application form and provide a reference.

Full Circle Funerals Partners
While working as funeral directors, we were approached by many people who wanted to be funeral directors themselves but didn’t feel confident to start their own business. They told us they felt the way that Full Circle Funerals supported people was aligned with their personal values and vision of good funeral care.
We felt that many of these people would be excellent funeral directors, and were bringing all the right skills, motivation, and experience to the role. So, we decided to create a framework to give them the support they were asking for and launched the Full Circle Funerals Partners franchise network in January 2020, with support from franchising experts at Lime Licencing Group.
Every Full Circle Funerals Partner is a small, local, and independent business and they receive support from an experienced team of funeral directors and managers at Full Circle Funerals. We believe this creates a helpful balance of a funeral business remaining independent and local, while also receiving support from a wider, motivated, and engaged team of colleagues.
