Abstract
Attitudes and experiences of clergy regarding funeral directors and funeral practices were surveyed in a brief questionnaire. A national sample of clergy was drawn from major Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish groupings. The 113 usable returns represented somewhat over 20 percent of the original sample. On the whole, the experiences of clergy with funerals and funeral directors were positive, although a significant minority provided negative judgments. The general consensus of the clergy, in spite of their favorable evaluations, was that people did need more protection from inappropriate funeral practices than they were presently getting.
