Voyage Funeral Home is currently accepting applications for a funeral director apprenticeship. If interested please forward your resume and cover letter to voyage@mts.net

Currently, in Manitoba, we have one school offering the Funeral Director and Embalmer program.

Their courses offer technical training, combined with hands-on training as well as studies in embalming, microbiology, funeral law and human anatomy, just to name a few.

General requirements are a grade 12 education and you must be at least 19 years of age or older. For detailed information and registration requirements please visit: https://www.ccfs.ca.

In my professional opinion, I would strongly suggest you call your local funeral home and speak with a funeral director about the possibility of job shadowing and answering any other questions you may have. A career in funeral service requires a compassionate and caring personality.
