Kelly enjoyed some time with current students and alumni alike at the WFDA’s Professional Women’s Conference in Sturgeon Bay.

So great to see our students thriving in the profession across the state.

The students got a lot of great information with a behind-the-scenes look at Lakeshore Burial Vault Company. A big thanks to Hubert, Nicole and their team for showing us around.

Every Funeral Director has a reason they got into the profession.

If you’re a Funeral Director, we’d love to hear yours.

If you’re somebody outside of funeral service who has a “why” and would like to explore it, let us know.

What a great way to personalize a casket for a loved one. There are a lot of companies and industries out there that can help to make services unique. You just need a little creative thinking.

Wrap it up Milwaukee

Casket wrapping has emerged as a popular new way to memorialize our deceased loved ones. Robert Jones owns Wrap It Up MKE and has seen a huge increase in business in the past three years. Read more at the link in the comments.

Some random “head shots” to wrap up the week. They are progressing nicely, don’t you think?

Also - does anyone want to venture a guess as to what instructor, “Wreck-It” Ralph is thinking in the last photo?

We appreciate the willingness of our local funeral professionals to provide us with their insight and experiences. This past week we had the pleasure of touring Becker Ritter Funeral Home and meeting with funeral directors Tara Steininger and Mike Palmisano and Jeff Drews, sales rep with Batesville Casket Company to talk sales and marketing.

Another month - another great group! Congrats to the March ‘26 group. Thanks for all the great questions. Best of luck in the future.
