As a blog reader, an undertaker or director with the information above considered very important knowing each mosque capability and its location, the Imam and the mosque committee, perhaps that you will one day be called for an assistant or for future prevailing funeral assignment. In other words...work smart and be honest, maintain a good interpersonal relationship with them and always remember a 'Base' can become a 'Non Base' any time, as people do come and go as they please, and theres a plenty of chances for the vacuum to be filled up by anyone especially for both experienced undertaker and director alike.
