Mike Nicodemus, President of CANA, and the Virginia Funeral Directors Association announced a Crematory Operations Certificate Program on Sunday, June 24, 2012 at the 124th annual VFDA convention in Virginia Beach at the Cavalier Hotel. The Certificate Program is a separate program and is not part of the convention. The State Board has approved CE credit for this training and it meets State Board requirements. If you are a crematory operator or manager and do not have your certification or one from another provider the State Board has approved, now is a great time for you to attend. The next classes will be out of state. You can register by visiting the CANA website at www.cremationassociation.org or calling (312) 245-1077.
