Robin Heppell honors the privilege of presenting at the 100th Annual Convention in celebration of the Utah Funeral Directors Associations’ 100th year of service.
“I am looking forward to be presenting on two levels, an information session and an open forum. My passion for the funeral industry has led me on a continuous path to seeking new ways of providing improved services in this technological era while displaying old-school values.” added Heppell, Funeral Management Consultant.
During the informative session, Are you a Born-again Undertaker?, attendees will be challenged to think about their roll in funeral service. This session will close with ideas as well as a set of tools that the attendees can take back to their funeral home and implement.
Robin Heppell stated, “It is a major concern – 50 years ago and more, the Funeral Director or Undertaker was the “Go-To” person when a death occurred. We are now a main “Checklist Item” instead of the main point of contact and need to reverse the way we are seen.
Secondly, Robin Heppell will host an Open House Forum for Funeral Home Technologies whereby he will bridge the gap between practical technologies and funeral home functionality by answering questions, facilitating discussion, and providing information which funeral professionals can used to implement.
Heppell will be presenting in Salt Lake City, the capital and largest city of Utah, in the north-central part of the state near Great Salt Lake on April 13-14, 2011. View upcoming events at http://www.ufda.org/events.php
