Program Information

The Canadian College of Funeral Service has offered funeral service education across Canada since 1980 and continues to be a leader in producing competent and distinguished students.
Our mandate is to provide a high-standard educational experience that inspires students to become confident and well-respected funeral service professionals.
Our comprehensive programs are designed to meet the evolving needs of funeral service professionals.

Program Delivery

Program format is delivered using the following three components:

1. Online distance learning:

Designed to allow you to be employed while you study. Weekly lessons and quizzes are delivered via Brightspace D2L (North America’s leading online learning management system), enabling students to learn from anywhere with internet access. Our instructors provide weekly quiz feedback, and students may contact instructors and classmates across the country through Brightspace D2L.

2. Seminars:

Ranging from 14-16 days/year, offered over 2-3 scheduled seminars per year (depending on your provincial jurisdiction). These seminars are held in your province and provide the opportunity for in-person sessions with valuable face-to-face instructions and networking opportunities.

3. Practical Experience:

Our Practical Experience component is a unique opportunity to develop the interpersonal and technical skills required for Funeral Directors and Embalmers. As an apprentice, your experienced mentor or sponsor will guide you through the specific daily tasks and responsibilities you can anticipate as a licensed funeral director and/or embalmer. This hands-on practical training is an invaluable learning environment that sets us apart from other schools.
