Funeral directors are responsible for arranging the funerals, but the original decisions would need to be made either by the deceased ahead of time (a very good idea) or by the family of the deceased.

The family/deceased makes the decisions about what kind of service, if it will be a burial or a cremation, graveside or chapel service, etc.

The funeral director takes care of the body, the chapel, communicates with the cemetery (if appropriate) and can often recommend an officiant to perform the service. They also take care of paying people.
