Superb course well presented, covered everything I needed in order to improve the processes already in place and to implement some new admin procedures. Great course expert trainer raft of experience who was able to share a range of personal scenarios. Very helpful.”
Emma Morehen, Polebrook Parish Council 

David the Presenter was excellent and left you in no doubt he knew his profession from top to bottom. His style was friendly and extremely approachable. All levels of questions were put to him and he treated them all with the same courtesy. Although a beginner in cemetery management myself I felt much more confident by the end and now know which questions I should be asking in my office.
