We are delighted to share the fantastic news that Thomas Atherton has achieved his certification in Funeral Administration and Arranging from the London Association of Funeral Directors.
Thomas had this to say about his achievement:
I am the Community Funeral Director for Hunnaball of Sudbury and my role involves supporting our families from arranging the funeral to the day of the funeral service.
At the start of the year, I fully completed my in-depth and extensive funeral conductor training, and during this time I was able to gain my certification in Funeral Administration and Arranging from the London Association of Funeral Directors.
I have been working for the Hunnaball Family Funeral Group for almost 5 years. My journey began as a funeral service operative, progressed to become a Funeral Arranger, then onto my ultimate goal of becoming a funeral conductor. The process of becoming a funeral conductor is lengthy as it requires a particular degree of care and empathy whilst also following the families wishes down to the smallest detail. There are many different services we offer from local Direct Unattended Cremations to full traditional services with limousines and horse hearses. All require a high degree of training as the day of the funeral is extremely important to us and the families we serve, this is their last goodbye and we take great pride in ensuring perfection.
Being a Community Funeral Director gives me a great sense of pride, and is something I am truly honoured to do every day.
