Funeral Director Training

“The Green Fuse funeral course was incredibly useful and very real. If you want to start a funeral business go and do this course with Green Fuse. When we filled in our first funeral form we remembered the game we played of how to complete them. It was very good.” Ash Rao. Moksh Funerals.

The content of the course was very informative and thorough and presented in a very easy to understand and relaxed manner. The premises and grounds are lovely and provide a delightful learning environment and everyone was so friendly.” Holly Clarke, Holly’s Funerals. October 2016
