Education has always been a core interest of the German Federal Association of Funeral Directors (BDB). We believe that future challenges for our industry and our trade can only be met by educated and well-trained professionals. Therefore, we constantly strive to improve and expand educational opportunities – for young people joining the industry as well as for professionals who wish to refresh or broaden their knowledge.

In this autumn issue, we would like to go into the details of our current system; our plans for the future; and our steps to facilitate and improve international exchange and cooperation.
