Snider Participates in
Annual Meeting of Selected Independent
Funeral Homes
“I always value the
opportunity to gain new information and insight on how to better serve my
client families,” said Snider. “Selected’s meeting provided valuable
opportunities to gather with my fellow members of Selected Independent Funeral
Homes from across North America and around the
world. We participated in a variety of informative study sessions, discussed
insights and shared new ideas that I’m excited to implement.”
Meeting sessions
focused on important issues concerning the funeral service profession such as
innovative service ideas, timely business advice and best practices. Among the
many topics covered during the meeting were working with today’s media,
creating a solid business, building relationships with clergy and helping
adults better assist grieving children.
