The Certified Preplanning Consultant (CPC) program.

Body: The CPC designation is the national standard of excellence in advance funeral planning — established in 1997 and accredited by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice and most state licensing boards. The self-study program covers the Funeral Rule, preplanning ethics, funding options, contract standards, listening and sales skills, marketing, and creating meaningful ceremonies. The CPC credential demonstrates to families that you’re an expert in preplanning — and sets you apart in your community. Open to NFDA members and non-members.
