About the event
About this course:
Jarrett Vance will be presenting. Jarrett is a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, and has been an active Crematory Operator at the high-volume, third-party crematory East Tennessee Cremation Company for 14 years— half of those as the Director of Operations for the facility.
This course is a practical introduction to the daily realities of crematory operation, and identifying and adapting to the differences in operation, construction, maintenance needs, troubleshooting, and “temperament” between units of different ages and manufacturers. It demonstrates these in real-time, live-video exploration of the second two of the four very
different units that are in current service at a high-volume crematory: an A-350 and an FT III, two newer units of similar generation, but still very different in behavior and operation. This course and its previous portion are intended to give baselines and highlight differences, to help crematory professionals extrapolate how to better adapt to and learn
their own machines, regardless of type— and also to give funeral professionals overall a better understanding of what the cremation process entails, for their own information and communicating with families.
***This is a POV training/demonstration using a clean, vacuumed cremation unit in real time. There WILL NOT BE a decedent present for reasons of ethics and the dignity of the deceased in our care.***
