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."

This course is now a module in the Funeral Director training. It can still be taken separately.
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.
COST: 3 days - £675
You have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the subject and practice the skills and resources necessary to be an excellent funeral arranger or adviser. green fuse founders Jane Morrell and Simon Smith, who are practicing contemporary funeral directors and celebrants, are the principal facilitators.
The training takes place at Stanborough House where we are welcomed and supported in our work by Sophie and Pete. The accommodation is wonderful, Sophie's cooking is delicious and the training rooms light and spacious.
