This seminar evolved out of a need to provide funeral directors with an excellent learning experience that focuses on their unique needs. Ideal for those who need time to recharge their batteries, or as a reward for a respected employee of the funeral home. Three major themes will be explored during this three-day seminar: creating meaningful funeral ceremonies delivering dynamic service to families you are honored to assist at a time of death caring for the caregiver: the art of caring for yourself while you care for others.

Come learn from one of North America's most respected consultants to funeral home staffs. Remember why you wanted to be in funeral service, and, most importantly, renew your zest for your chosen profession. This three-day course is co-sponsored by Batesville Casket Company, and held at their JAWACDAH Farm in Batesville, IN. Please phone Kathy Shields at 812-931-5030 to register
