Funeral Operations During a Pandemic

Course overview

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the business of funeral service. An industry that was founded on celebrating life, eulogizing, and fellowshipping in a very personal and physical way has been forced to find new ways of communal catharsis. This course explores how the funeral industry has adapted to the crisis, the protocols that have been adopted to keep workers and the public safe, and the guidance from OSHA, CDC, and WHO for funeral service providers. The course also discusses why funeral homes must develop crisis management plans and examines why the pandemic will likely create lasting changes to both personal and societal behavior.
