Summary:
In the past year, a local Hospice partnered with Amanda for many of their pediatric cases, which has led to this culmination of growing experiences due to the abnormal high number of children she has had the honor to have in her care. Though Amanda is aware that pediatric care may be a rare occurrence for some funeral professionals, she has been working (almost) continuously with at least one child in her care over the past year. It has given her a tremendous amount of hands-on knowledge that she now has the desire to share with others in the funeral service profession so that other funeral directors will feel more confident and prepared. Amanda will be discussing ethical scenarios and situations throughout the entire presentation.
