About the Course:
The course will further focus on the importance of respecting the cultural practices and traditions of co-workers, as well as client families served. Several strategies and suggestions are presented to assist in the serving of families with conflict resulting from diversity within the family. The most important lesson presented is the importance of respecting one another, regardless of others' beliefs or practices. - Effective Communication with Seniors 1About the Course:Communication is an essential aspect of life; yet, it can be taken for granted. Its centrality to being in the world and in professional practice often becomes evident when a provider and older adults encounter communication difficulties. The factors that can affect providers’ communication with older adults relate to sociocultural considerations, the environment, as well as the interactions between these factors. When communicating with older adults, it is necessary to get to know the person as an individual. It is also important to ensure that the communication meets their needs and abilities. Effective communication is essential and requires competence and engagement.
- OSHA and CDC Compliance for the Funeral Profession 1About the course:There are many health hazards working with or near human remains. By using common sense, OSHA's bloodborne pathogen standards and universal precautions these risks can be greatly reduced.
- Professional Ethics 2About the Course:Professional ethics is a vast field of study, with categories and subcategories relating to every conceivable topic and issue. Many medical and health-related disciplines establish their own ethical codes and standards of conduct, which encapsulate the compiled wisdom of countless individuals and years of professional experience. Their study offers practitioners the opportunity to learn from their predecessors’ mistakes instead of their own.
- Talking with Children About Death 2About the Course:Death is one of life’s certainties and yet it is also its greatest uncertainty, and children, at a young age, become cognizant of mortality. Some children face significant losses such as the death of a parent or sibling that are dramatic and life-changing. Children experience and work through the same broad range of emotions that an adult does. Conversely, children are still developing both emotionally and cognitively and therefore are unable to express grief in the same way an adult does. For this reason, coping skills are limited and the need for education and guidance is necessary to support a child in identifying and moving through their own complex feelings.
- Texas Mortuary and Crematory Law Update 2Course Release date: 12/15/2022
In 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, 203,099 Texas residents died (Texas Department of State Health Services, n.d.) and required the death care industry’s services. As the oldest baby boomers approach age 80, a need will arise for more funeral professionals to assist families in need. To protect Texans from fraud and deception at a vulnerable time, the state continues to update legislation to reflect the current situations and ethical practices. This course covers the most current versions in the Texas Codes. All of the information in this course was adapted from the TFSC under “governing laws.” - Texas Vital Statistics Update 2023 2Course release date: 12/15/2022
This course is devoted to death registration in the Texas vital registration system. It provides instructions for completing and filing death certificates along with related permits. Also, it will review the rules relating to cemeteries, types of cemeteries, and miscellaneous provisions that will apply to the funeral industry in Texas. - Training New Embalmers 2About the Course:It is the responsibility and duty of funeral home owners, managers, and experienced professionals to properly train and equip those new to the industry in the most complete way possible. Additionally, it is the responsibility of these same professionals to properly equip and prepare those who are new to a firm. This proper training and preparation will provide immeasurable success to the new embalmer, the existing staff and management, and the families that will be served.
