Presentation Description:

Serving families experiencing the loss of a child can be one of the hardest tasks for funeral directors.   Participants in this presentation will learn how to best speak with a family experiencing the loss of a baby, possible triggers to avoid, and the best words to soothe the family during this time of loss.  This presentation will help funeral directors and morticians understand why it is so important to offer specific types of care to grieving parents.  New preservation techniques of very small babies will be presented.  Laws for each state concerning miscarriage and stillbirth will be available, along with any new bills that may be passed soon.  Types of caskets and urns for the various gestation of pregnancy will also be discussed.   Participants should be much better equipped to help families experiencing the loss of a baby by the end of the presentation.
