Whereas the term “personalization” is now a buzzword in the funeral profession, it has been the passion of Life Appreciation Training for thirty-five years.

Every funeral arrangement style or method has predictable results.  Traditional funeral arrangement methods fail to create personalized funerals beyond memory boards and funeral props. Life Appreciation Training can teach you to master a consistent “wow” factor in funeral personalization.  This begins with the arrangements conference and carries over to an organizational system that will impact client satisfaction, revenue and market share.  Guaranteed!

Join Bill Bates, president of the award winning Life Appreciation Training Seminar Program and fourteen other progressive funeral directors at the acclaimed Life Appreciation Training Seminar weekend intensive (16 CEU’s).  Or, have them conduct the Staff Training Seminar at your funeral home where one group fee covers the entire staff any day of the week 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.  (10 CEU’s)

Your full Staff Training fee is refundable if revenue does not improve 20-50%.  Even you will be impressed by the funerals you create.

Here’s what you'll gain:
1. Learn a proven method to bond with families infifteen minuets.

2. Master a funeral arrangement style which enables you to determine what personalization activities each family would see value in, even when they may not have been aware of it at the outset of the arrangements.

3. Master the ability to create moving, personalized, funeral ceremony concepts to express every life. It's possible to create every ceremony unlike any other event.

4. Create moving, fully-personalized funerals for families who otherwise request “no funeral” or cremation services. This impacts client satisfaction and revenue, guaranteed.

And, with it being guaranteed, you’ve got nothing to loose.
