Providing Meaning
The passing of a loved one is among the most challenging and
stressful events that can confront a person. More than ever, people
depend on funeral service practitioners to provide an appropriate
and meaningful way to manage that transition.
Today, the demand for well-trained funeral service
administrators is growing. According to the National Funeral
Directors Association, people seek “a meaningful service that
provides a connection to their loved one and a celebration of the
life that was lived.”
