What is a CANA-Certified Cremation Specialist?
Anyone can claim they are a cremation specialist. What sets a CANA-Certified Cremation Specialist apart is the training they receive to ensure everyone is treated with the same level of care, service, and compassion. Through exposure to a curriculum based on years of research and experience, CANA-Certified Cremation Specialists learn best practices in ethical conduct, verbal and non-verbal delivery, personalizing services and body preparation styles to grow their abilities. Most importantly, they learn how to communicate the value of everything a business has to offer to the people it serves. And, because they’re trained by CANA’s experts, they have insights into the latest trends in funeral service.
More than doing the job as a funeral arranger, even more than doing it right, this program is designed to help arrangers show that they care.
CANA-Certified Cremation Specialists report that this program made them:
- more confident in their ability to probe deeper and discuss services and memorials
- more engaged with their work by introducing them to new ideas and concepts
- more connected to customers they serve and better able to meet their needs
- feel validated in making choices to benefit both the customers and the firm
Fees
The Cohort Program has a one-time fee of $465 US for CANA Members, $615 US for all other funeral professionals: $165 for courses and 11 CE credit hours and $450 certification application fee (discounted for members).
Registration Deadline: July 31st to graduate October 15, 2026.
