Hide AdThe Diploma in Funeral Service was obtained by completing various pieces of coursework, a presentation, a mock funeral arrangement, and a final exam held in West Bromwich in March 2018. The purpose of the Diploma is to educate a funeral director with the knowledge to handle funerals in all situations, from all beliefs and backgrounds, and to ensure that the very highest quality of service is given to the bereaved in their time of need.
Currently, Funeral Directors are not required to be regulated to any standard. However, the British Institute of Funeral Directors are lobbying government to
introduce regulations into their industry, to ensure that all families receive the best possible service.
Amanda said: “Education is important, in order to offer the very best service to the families who put so much trust in us at such a difficult time, and I am very proud that Michael has gained this Diploma qualification.”
