What is National Funeral Director And Mortician Recognition Day?
On March 11th, National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day reminds us to thank the professionals who consider every need during our most difficult time in our lives.
Funeral planners and morticians dedicate their lives to honoring our loved ones. They bring together the memories and achievements of someone we've lost to death. Funeral directors can assist with every step of planning a funeral with professional expertise and compassion. Although the news has settled, these experts know how emotional and stressful the process is.
Funeral planners are armed with a nifty repertoire. We are led by their compassion and exceptional organizational skills as we journey through the honor of someone we all love dearly. In addition, being a funeral director requires being a good listener, a trait that many of them have in spades.
They work hard to develop their skills, as well. Mortuary science is studied by both morticians and funeral directors, with the aim of obtaining an associate degree or higher. A 1-3 year apprenticeship follows their degree. Funeral directors must be licensed.
Funeral directors know how to put people at ease beyond their education. The agony of loss takes on many faces as we mourn. Funeral directors act as guides and assist in fulfilling our loved ones's wishes.. Even at its best, the mortician and funeral director provide a sense of calm and unity at a time when it can be difficult.
