Working in the funeral industry is incredibly rewarding and requires a unique skill set to support grieving families. However, it can be difficult for those outside the industry to find a way to join.
Those looking to recruit, or upskill current staff, face their own hurdles, from finding people to join their team to having the time to invest in training.
That’s where IFISS can help.
Considering a career in the Death Services Industry?
Perhaps you’ve been pondering joining the death care industry for some time, or it’s been an idea that’s been suggested to you recently. So where should you begin?
Unlike other professions, no formal qualifications are required, so there is no clear roadmap to follow to enter the industry. Often, what people think working in the industry will be like, versus the reality of the experience, is very different.
Our training courses help you gain a realistic understanding of the different roles available and the requirements involved. You’ll learn more about the expectations and challenges, whilst furthering your appreciation for the art and craft of the profession. With our holistic approach, we’ll help you get the right mindset and identify your personal qualities that will set you up for long-term success working in the funeral industry.

Are you an industry operator trying to attract and retain staff?
Our industry often deals with people at difficult and emotionally charged times, so having a solid team of experienced funeral directors, embalmers and other essential service providers can help to ensure that all services are carried out with professionalism and compassion.
Unfortunately, recruitment and retention are a significant challenge for many companies. When those within your organisation are looking to upskill, or somebody within the industry has accepted a new role at your company, having the capacity to train staff and foster that transition isn’t always feasible. At IFISS, we can help facilitate that transition and adjustment period and refine your employee’s skills so you can deliver exceptional service.
IFISS can design and deliver training programmes to individuals and groups depending on the requirements of the business. From professional development to specialised training courses, our programs are designed to provide attendees with foundational skills to build on and easily adapt to your company’s values and processes.
And because we are independent, we can help companies assess whether staff are a good fit for their new role and your organisation.
