Gateway Funeral Services: A vocation that’ s all about caring
We often hear references to the ‘caring professions’ such as hospital doctors and nurses, GPs, foster parents and the like.
There is, however, another profession in which the great majority of its members consider it to be a vocation rather than a job, where the motivation is to provide a caring service to people at a time of need.
Funeral directors deal with people at perhaps the most emotionally sensitive times of their lives – and to do so demands a degree of empathy and understanding which can only come from someone who truly cares.
In the final analysis, funeral directors are, like all of us, people who have lost family members and can therefore sympathise with the position clients find themselves in.
At the same time, however, they need to be professional, to be objective, in order to provide the best service they can and help people reach the most appropriate decision at a time when their thought processes are inevitably upset.
So although a funeral director might not show emotion when dealing with a distressed client, rest assured that this does not indicate any lack of empathy, or any thought that this is ‘just another job’ to be done.
With a husband, wife and two sons involved, Yorkshire’s Gateway Funeral Services is a family as much as it is a business.
Having been established with the principles of care and service at the heart of its ethos, clients can be assured that this is precisely what they will receive, from the moment that first phone call is made, to the funeral and its aftermath.
Everyone in the Gateway team is proud to consider themself a member of a caring profession and to uphold the values it implies.
