SUMMARY:What's New to Get You Sued in 2022?
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 15\, 2022\, from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT for the next presenter in the ICCFA Webinar Series\, Poul Lemasters\, Esq. of Lemasters Consulting. \nOkay. Maybe not sued\, after all you can always CYA to try and avoid some liability. But what are some of the new issues that should be on your list? How about texting with families? Social media – both employees and customers. What about cremation – anything there? Of course! In fact\, we even have some embalming issues that are making a comeback. Join us for a look into some of the issues that you should be aware of so you can CYA and hopefully avoid an issue in 2022. \nPoul began his career in deathcare more than 20 years ago as a funeral director and embalmer. He quickly recognized that the growing risk and liability in deathcare along with the lack of support and resources for those in this profession made for a deadly combination. So\, he decided to go to law school—and he passed! Today\, Poul uses his unique background in both deathcare and law to provide resources and counsel to other deathcare professionals. He gets calls for assistance in risk management\, daily operational conflicts\, form and contract reviews\, valuations\, and regulatory matters. Basically\, all the exciting issues our profession has to offer. Poul advises several funeral home\, crematory\, cemetery\, and trade associations across the United States. He also shares his know-how with those in the field by serving as Cremation Coordinator and Advisor for ICCFA’s Cremation Education Program. \nClick here to register

DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 19\, 2022\, from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT for the next presenter in the ICCFA webinar series\, Gino Merendino. Gino is the Chief Gardener at Merendino Cemetery Care and Dean of the ICCFA University Land College. \nCompliance with OSHA is not enough. Keeping your cemetery staff healthy and safe from injury requires the right tools to mitigate the dangers unique to cemeteries in a post COVID-19 world. \nIn this webinar “Safety in Your Cemetery\,” Gino explains how safety programs fail when they are designed to just check off the boxes for compliance purposes rather than engage the hearts of employees. Safety is attainable when workers can identify the risks and pressures of getting sick or injured and realize how those circumstances can impact their coworkers and loved ones. When employees trust their employers\, they help identify safety hazards while collaborating with management to reduce injuries and fines. \nA good safety program will reduce turnover as it shows your employees that you care about them and their families. If you have 1 or 100 employees\, you do not want to miss this webinar. \nGino Merendino is the Chief Gardener for Merendino Cemetery Care. He is passionate about leading the profession through education. He is the Vice President and a trustee of the International Cemetery Cremation and Funeral Association (ICCFA) Education Foundation and the Dean of the Land College for the ICCFA University. He holds a BS in Business Management from Rutgers University and is a Rutgers Cooperative Extension Master Gardener. He is the architect of the Veteran Administration approved GI Bill Apprenticeship Training Program for cemetery care managers. As the Chief Gardener at Merendino\, he is responsible for the mowing and trimming of 2\,000 acres of cemetery property weekly in the Northeast as well as the outsourcing of 1 out of every 650 burials in the USA.
