As we prepare to welcome the New Year, we are taking a moment to reflect on this past year and how far we have come.
Firstly, the IFISS team would like to express our deep gratitude to our clients and peers in the industry for your trust and support throughout 2025. You are the reason IFISS was created, and we constantly strive to deliver the products and support services you need most, whether that is professional development for your staff, assistance with complex mortuary care, holiday relief, an extra pair of hands at your service, or someone to handle your after-hours calls for the week or weekend.
Changing and Evolving
Every new enquiry reminds us of the importance of continually evolving to meet our industry’s needs. We are proud to have supported many individuals aspiring to join this sacred profession, helping them take meaningful steps toward their goals.
Just as your business is unique, we’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. We take pride in the many ways we support the industry:
- Our collaboration with WorkForce to create return-to-work documents tailored to our industry’s unique roles, more on this in the new year!
- Attending and sponsoring conferences such as CCAV, NFDA, and AIE CPD.
- Expanding the IFISS Funeral School for new and experienced industry professionals, offering practical and theoretical skill development as well as tailored upskilling opportunities. While not a formal certification program, it provides a supportive pathway for individuals and companies to strengthen their capabilities and grow within the funeral profession.
- Supporting crematoria and cemeteries through our training courses.
Planning Ahead & The Importance of Taking a Break
Over the following weeks, we hope you find time to take a break and do what you enjoy. Prioritising your well-being is vital to longevity in this challenging industry, and we at IFISS deeply value building resilience. Our holiday relief service has grown this year, with clients frequently rebooking after experiencing the peace of mind that comes with knowing their business is in good hands.
