I am interested in a career in funeral service...

Contact your local MFSA Member to find out more on how to become a Funeral professional!

Not everyone in funeral service jumped  right in as a Funeral Director.  Many individuals, who are now licensed  Funeral Directors, started on the ground floor and started working as a  part-time Funeral Attendant or Office Administrator, Reception Hostess,  Groundskeeper,  Driver or car washer.  After getting some much needed  experience and seeing the profession from behind the scenes is when they  truly realized this was the profession they wanted to persue.  They  approached the owner/manager of the funeral home and expressed their  desire to become a Funeral Director.  


If the opportunity was available they  would be enrolled in one of the education programs, approved by the  Funeral Board of Manitoba,  to become an Apprentice Funeral Director.   In  some cases and with the right candidate and opportunity, you may be  able to secure a position as a Funeral Director Apprentice at the very  beginning.   That doesn't always work for everyone as the candidate may  not be fully aware of the commitment required to be a Funeral Director.   It can also be more challenging for the employer as the opportuity to  evaluate the candidate isn't quite the same as if they had been working  for them or in the profession before taking the next step.   

Upon the successful completion of  their education, one program is a minimum of two years of a combination  of school and practical work experience, they would become a Licensed  Funeral Director.  The process takes a great deal of commitment and  effort but in the end it is well worth it!  

Caring for people who are experiencing what is likely the most difficult time in their life is rewarding beyond compare.
