Continuing Professional Growth
Martin Funeral Home has always sought excellence, in facilities, services, and within our staff members. This focus leads us to adopt the mindset of lifelong learners. In the words of Brian Tracy, “the most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it.”
Our continued professional development is paramount, and so each of us does what we can to be the best we can in our chosen field.
-
Each of us strives to better ourselves by:
- Attending National and regional conventions, including the National Funeral Directors Association, The Michigan Funeral Directors Association, the Order of the Golden Rule, and other leading professional organizations.
- Attending Teleconferences
- Reading trade magazines & journals
- Participating in online Webinars
- In-House Training
- Daily, Weekly & Monthly Staff Meetings
Our reason for belonging to these groups, and participating in ongoing activities is simple. We want to push against the status quo.
As there are currently no continuing education requirements in Michigan, there exists no expectation of bettering ourselves professionally. Unfortunately, many funeral directors put forth minimal effort to better themselves once licensed. And honestly, this is not our philosophy. We always strive to lead the field, to be the best we can be, to give our families an experience of “excellence.”
