Funeral Arranging and Advice This 3-day course covers all you need to help a family arrange and organise a good, memorable and personal funeral. You learn how to introduce the many choices now available clearly, how families may be involved in the preparations, funeral arrangements and paperwork, aligning arranging decisions with the ceremony, and how to listen and communicate well with newly bereaved families. You will be able to inform, support and advise on all aspects of arranging a funeral. 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..

"Since I finished the course my father-in-law has let me take the reins on the last three funerals. I just wanted to thank you both for all the invaluable information you gave me. I don't think I would have felt so comfortable and confident in this last week had I not attended the course. Thank you both once again." A.Redmond
