funeral arranger and adviser trainings
Funeral Arranging and Advice On this 3-day course you learn about how to introduce all the options clearly which make a funeral more individual and personal, how families can be involved in caring for the body, funeral preparation and the ceremony, what makes a good, memorable funeral, and how to listen and communicate well with newly bereaved families. It also covers the detailed knowledge you need. You will be able to inform, support and advise on all aspects of arranging a funeral, including dealing with the forms and paperwork. You will have learned about some of the less familiar options e.g. burials on private land. You receive a 100-page manual. (3 days - £375) DOWNLOAD THE FUNERAL ARRANGING AND ADVICE PROSPECTUS.
"The funeral courses run by green fuse are full of practical guidance and information. They take away the mystique surrounding how funerals are created and carried out. Jane's and Simon's experience as funeral directors, arrangers and celebrants provides the required authority as well as imaginative ideas. Their teaching equips the student to support grieving families in the making of important choices they otherwise might not have known were even available. I believe it gives families the chance to be more effective, and to grieve and celebrate a life more proactively.” Jonathan Taylor..
