Funeral Customs and Rituals: Ways to Say Goodbye
Moss Service Funeral Home, Dignity Memorial Funeral Providers and the Hospice Foundation of America invite you to join them for a FREE presentation offering two contact hours of continuing education for nurses and social workers. It will provide a brief overview of the funeral-related customs and returals of the Roman Catholic, Protestant, Greek, Orthodox, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu faiths.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify funeral customs and rituals specific to Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu faiths, as well as Asian culture
- Understand how these customs and rituals impact patients and their loved ones
- Communicate more confidently with patients of different faiths and cultures about end-of-life issues
