Funeral Operations School

Funeral Operations School is a two day program. 

The first day is classroom and the second day is hands-on training.

Classroom topics cover protocols for:

• The scene of a LODD incident
• Notifications
• Family Needs and Wishes Planning
• Department Planning
• Honor Guard Planning 
• Execution of those plans and protocols. 

We also review the protocols and needs for the 3 basic types of Public Safety funerals. 

• Retiree 
• Active Duty 
• Line of Duty 

We also discuss planning and operations for multiple LODD’s as well as public safety suicides. Other topics covered are family liaison, staging, unit line ups and logistics associated with Public Safety funerals and memorial events. 

Students are provided with an overview and checklists for setups and operations at funeral homes, church/chapels as well as graveside services.
