Each year, students participate in a week-long residential program led by industry leaders, discussing the latest strategies, best practices, and innovations in cemetery, funeral, and cremation care.
Lauren has finished a demanding program that covers four specialized Colleges within ICCFAU.

Completing all four years is a significant achievement that demonstrates Lauren’s commitment to growth, excellence, and providing caring service. Her success not only improves her skills but also enhances the quality of care we provide to every family. With her increased expertise and industry knowledge, Lauren is even better equipped to support families through life’s toughest moments with clarity, empathy, and confidence.
