Ongoing training is essential to maintaining professional standards, regulatory compliance, and compassionate care across the funeral sector. From embalming and funeral arranging to health and safety, customer service, and leadership, structured learning supports the development of both new and experienced personnel. Funeral Service Times reports on training initiatives, qualifications, CPD programmes, industry partnerships, accreditation schemes, and updates from professional bodies—equipping funeral directors, arrangers, and sector staff with the knowledge to meet the evolving demands of their roles.
