- Advanced Funeral Planning, 2nd Edition 4Release Date: 7/8/2024
About the Course:
Advanced funeral planning is a general term with many facets. It is a decision that must be fine-tuned to the individuality, lifestyle, and religious base of each person. Many people plan for life events, such as weddings and vacations, well in advance. However, most do not plan for something that is certain to happen: their funeral. Further, many people are unaware of how expensive laying a loved one to rest can be. Assisting individuals in their quest to plan ahead significantly reduces the risk of leaving family members not only emotionally unprepared but also financially unprepared. This course is developed as a guide to help you, as a professional provider or agent, navigate the options that best suit all parties. - Modern Restorative Arts and Embalming Techniques, 2nd Edition 3Release Date: 1/8/2024

The past has been passed on for generations and what has been done has been passed on from one generation to another with limited training on the new advances and what could be done.
