Building on the Basics

You may possess the fundamentals to survive, but do you have the tools to thrive? This year's conference takes you beyond the basics!

• Batesville's Christine Hendershot will introduce you to a new approach to cremation arranging based upon consumer views on cremation.
• NFDA's highest-rated embalming instructor (of all time!), Frank Walton, will share the secrets of his embalming tool kit. You won't want to miss this presentation!
• Pet Services expert Coleen Ellis will show you how to effectively mix pet services into an existing brand and how you can add these services to your firm's preneed efforts.
• NFDA General Counsel, Scott Gilligan, will answer critical questions such as, "Can free gifts be included in funeral packages?; Do you have to offer a package at a discount?; and Must you list packages on your GPL?"
