FUNE R A L HOME & C E M E T E R Y N E W S move forward into offering the AAS Fu- neral Service Education degree 100 per- cent online. For many students, it isn’t feasible to move or give up a full-time job to go to school as they have other family responsibilities. The online program will allow those students to earn their degree while honoring family responsibilities.” The online degree is designed to teach students the skills necessary for employ- ment as a funeral di- rector and embalmer. Students in the pro- gram will learn to rec- ognize the importance of caring for the be- reaved and deceased, conducting funeral service ceremonies and funeral arrangement conferences with families, preserving and restoring a deceased human body through embalming, being aware of proper work- place safety guidelines for funeral service practitioners, and cremation procedures.
