Others, simply say that it changed their life. To talk to someone you know who has been to The Training, please contact us.

Life Appreciation Training is one training that stands above the rest as critical to understanding our industry and how we affect peoples lives. I have recommended and sent many members of my staff. Ten years later, rarely a day passes that I don't utilize the skills developed from The Training. My staff showed renewed conviction in providing meaningful services to our families.

We require each of our funeral directors to take Life Appreciation Training. I have taken The Training myself and believe every person in our profession should have the same opportunity.

Life Appreciation Training exceeds the benchmark for industry seminars. It was both inspirational and informative. In addition, to at need, it's relevant to pre-need. I recommend it to any one in our profession.

We recommend everyone in funeral service attend The Training. We see highly positive benefits in our staff as a result.

We've always given good service. What's changed dramatically since everybody who works here has now been trained is that we are getting thank you cards every week. We have noticed a surge in market share. It changed how I look at the world.

It was truly one of the most informative and personally rewarding seminars I have ever attended and I recommend it to anyone in funeral service. I have put my training to use and my families are better served.

The principals I learned in The Training have increased family satisfaction, sales & profitability. I really got value for my money.

I can see a difference in what I can offer every family I've worked with since coming back from The Training.

Life Appreciation Training was an experience that I have not and will not ever forget. I appreciated it so much, that I have sent my entire licensed staff. Every family I have talked with since; at need, pre-need, or after care has benefited from the knowledge I gained in The Training. I recommend it for everyone.

I had heard many positive comments from past participants of The Training, but I didn't fully realize the impact that it would have on me until I attended. I highly recommend it for any one interested in providing quality, informed care.

Life Appreciation Training has been one of the key elements in the success of Krause Funeral Home. It has been invaluable in teaching our funeral directors how to be creative and effective in helping grievers. Personally, it has made what I do every day, at home and at work, more rewarding.

Nine years ago I attended Life Appreciation Training and it was a life changing experience. Every person in funeral service should be required to attend. In addition, Life Appreciation Training conducted two aftercare seminars through my funeral home in Broken Arrow, with each one getting rave reviews from families, health care workers and ministers.

The Life Appreciation After Care Program conducted in our community touched hundreds of attendees in a phenomenal way. We have already rescheduled it again for next year.

An invaluable experience. Having applied the methods taught in The Training in our firm, we have seen dramatic changes. Market share has increased 20% since we switched to The Life Appreciation arrangement strategy. Feel free to contact me.

It was one of the most beneficial seminars I have every attended. The quality of the program and presentation was outstanding. In addition, I have heard nothing but glowing reports from my son Matt since his return. I would recommend this seminar to anyone.

The Training is not just another grief lecture, it is an in-depth training every mortician should have.

In my thirty five years as a funeral director, Life Appreciation Training was by far the most valuable experience in continuing education. I recommend it and require it of my employees. I am confident that you will find it a worthwhile, even life changing experience that will stay with you throughout your career.

Life Appreciation Training went far beyond the relating and sharing of mere concepts-for me it touched a spark within my soul and has impacted my feelings about life and my chosen profession forever.

If you have any preconceived notions about Life Appreciation Training, throw them out/ sign up/attend.

Since returning from The Training ten years ago I have yet to make an arrangement or counsel with a family that I have not applied the skills I learned. I felt everyone in our firm should attend. Those who do are going to stand shoulders above their colleagues when it comes to serving families.

I attended fifteen years ago and to this day I can say, it is one of the best things I ever did. I received great insights about how to handle people. It gave me a procedure to help facilitate a grieving families healing and a way to create for them a meaningful funeral. I could write pages about the benefits of Life Appreciation Training. You can call me. It's a must for any one in our profession.

Life Appreciation Training is a remarkable experience. Being a second generation trainee of The Training, it has not only shown me where my father wants me to be with my families, but has also given me the understanding of how to get there. It gave me the tools to develop personalized services.

Thirty of our staff attended. There is no doubt in my mind that The Training was the most positive and rewarding thing I have ever done for our company. Just for starters it created a strong corporate synergy and a solid team-spirit. It not only gave our staff new skills for serving our customers but a deepened sense of our role in the community. It's an exciting new beginning for all of us.

Of all of the conventions and seminars I have attended in 30 years in funeral service, Life Appreciation Training had the most impact and I attended over ten years ago. No other seminar has ever had this kind of long term benefit. There are many perks given staff, vacation time, community and sports events, but none generates such positive response as The Training. The money spent has been returned through increased sales and performance. That's the big difference between The Training and other seminars.
