(SC) Emerging Disposition Options - Online Self Pace

Course overview

This one hour course provides licensed funeral directors, embalmers, and crematory operators with a comprehensive overview of emerging disposition options in the United States. The course examines cremation, green burial, and natural organic reduction (terramation) through the lens of legal requirements, operational considerations, environmental impact, and consumer trends. Participants will learn how to communicate these options clearly and ethically to families while maintaining compliance with state regulations and the FTC Funeral Rule. Case studies illustrate how education influences the type of cremation or service selected, rather than the choice of cremation itself.
