OACFP Cremation Symposium
Join us for this 3 Day Updated Event!
Join Larry Stuart, Jr. and a stellar line-up of industry experts at the new and improved OACFP Cremation Symposium!
This is the only recognized course for the certification of crematorium operators in the province of Ontario. This program will ensure you have the necessary training required under the FBCSA. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the cremation process, consumer protection for cremation clients, and best service practices and standards.
This program is NOT just for crematorium operators! It is open to anyone involved with any aspect of the cremation process including counsellors, funeral directors, full and part-time operators and owners. This program is the first phase towards operator certification. Full certification will be granted upon successful completion of the self-administered exam AND verification that the participant has completed fifty (50) cremation cases (second phase), for which participants have one full year from the date of the program to complete. The OACFP recommends that anyone who has not attended a crematorium training program within the last five years should attend.
New this Year
We’re excited to introduce a few special optional sessions to this year’s program, reinforcing our commitment to providing diverse, cross-disciplinary education.
New this year, we’ve added an optional third day tailored for professionals who work directly with families and want to enhance their arrangement skills. This one-day Cremation Arranger Program features a must-attend two-hour session led by industry experts Larry Stuart Jr. and Poul Lemasters. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into The Modern Funeral Journey.
Additionally, for those looking to deepen their expertise, we’re offering our OACFP Arranger program, Trusted Advisor Training Certification, running concurrently with day two of the operators’ training. This allows participants to dedicate two full days to refining their arrangement skills. Special pricing is available.
Take advantage of these opportunities to grow your skills and stay ahead in the profession!
