I continue to be on the learning end of the equation while I am sheltering in place at home.  Last Friday I was able to take part in a National Funeral Directors Association webinar featuring two seasoned veterans of the profession and how they are dealing with all things COVID-19 as it pertains to their businesses and the changing face of funeral service.
