Guess who finished their final final finally for Mortuary School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s been a crazy 18 months with some of the most incredible people but we did it! Class of 2020 are survivors! I want to thank my family, my aunts and my Oma, my cats, and my friends for sticking with me while I worked towards my life long goal. Now to hustle for our boards! #mortuaryschool #slccmortsci2020 #heylookmaimadeit https://www.instagram.com/p/B_n4v0UFILX/?igshid=tdhmjt2eihq1

I had a really interesting conversation with a lady in Canada the other night about funeral education and in particular apprenticeships. It seems that the U.K., US and Canada all have their own ways of getting young people into the profession. In the US you have to complete a mortuary science degree before entering the industry and starting your apprenticeship. Canada is pretty much the same. In the U.K. however that is not required. School leavers can obtain a modern apprenticeship where by they can work full time and get paid as well as get a college education by either on the job tuition where you are assessed by a tutor? Or you spend one day a week actually in college working towards a diploma or another type of qualification. The NAFD and the BIE both run embalming and funeral directing diplomas which although are fantastic here sadly are not transferable to some other countries, the US in particular. So if you are a school leader wanting to work in the funeral industry then a modern apprenticeship is fantastic but just be aware of you want to use your qualifications abroad you may not be able to? It’s always best to speak with your careers adviser and the country you wish to work in before making any commitments. #funeral #funeralservice #funeralhome #funeraldirector #funeraldirectorproblems #mortician #morticianlife #undertaker #confessionsofanundertaker #death #deathcare #apprentice #apprenticeship #modernapprenticeship #uk #USA #canada #school #education #mortuary #mortuaryscience #mortuaryschool #college #degree #diploma #NAFD #BIE (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire)
