Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course in funeral services, but Stanmore School of Business really delivered. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with plenty of opportunities for feedback and support from the instructors. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as funeral planning and coordination, as well as the more theoretical aspects of grief and bereavement. One of the highlights of the course was the case study on funeral services in different cultural contexts - it really opened my eyes to the diversity of funeral practices around the world. While there were some technical issues with the course platform, overall I'm happy with my experience and would recommend it to others.
