Codes of ethics, and the moral principles particular to funeral service.
All people, businesses, and industries need to abide by a code of ethics. There are fundamental differences between societies, businesses, and industries that affect the moral principles of each. Ethics are not as simple as knowing what is right and what is wrong and doing such without regard to products, services, relationships, or the workplace. Often, values change over time, meaning that there is no clear guide to be followed. Thus, the issue of what is right and what is wrong becomes very complex and may be confusing. While many believe that a code of ethics represents values that everyone should aspire too a code of ethics is a living legal document, which often changes with the needs of business and society. As a practicing funeral director, you should be aware of your ethical responsibilities when assisting client families.
