When the remains are prepared at the mortuary and later taken to a church for the funeral service, what does the funeral director typically not provide?

In the context of funeral services, the terme "prie dieu" refers to a kneeling rail or prayer desk that is often placed in a church for individuals to kneel and pray. While this item may sometimes be present in a church setting, it is typically not something that a funeral director provides as part of the funeral service.

Instead, the church usually has its own prie dieu available for use during services. The role of the funeral director during a service at a church often involves logistical support and preparation, such as ensuring the remains are transported properly using equipment like a church truck, assisting with floral displays, and sometimes even ushering attendees, but they do not provide items that are standard features of the church environment.

Thus, the correct answer highlights the fact that certain elements integral to church services, such as a prie dieu, are expected to be available from the church itself rather than being provided by the funeral director.
