About Journey to Serve
Journey to Serve is a new program aimed at recruiting military veterans to careers in funeral service.
Journey to Serve was launched in 2021 by the Funeral Service Foundation and the ICCFA Educational Foundation. It is also co-sponsored by the Funeral Service Association of Canada.
The purpose of this new program is to engage, recruit, and hire more military veterans into various careers within the funeral service profession – including funeral homes, crematories, cemeteries, pre-arrangement counselors and all levels of supplier and support roles.
This program is important because when asked to name their top business challenges, owners and operators of funeral profession businesses rank finding strong employees at the top of the list. This is an especially urgent call to action during times of crisis, such as a pandemic, when the ‘service’ part of the funeral profession really shines and caring, competent employees are needed.
