For many florists Funeral Work is an important and special product. A lot of funeral directors offer it as a service. The techniques that are used for this type of work can also be applied to a wide variety of other arrangements. For instance: (bigger) table arrangements, simple car decorations and wall/room decorations.

This practically oriented short course is very well suited for florists and/or their staff to freshen up their skills. This course is entry-level, meaning that you do not need any previous experience to join.
