MEMBER TESTIMONIALS
“There are many benefits to being a part of the BCFA for our profession, our company and individually. With government and affiliated agencies the BCFA gives us a voice we would not have otherwise; to me this has never been more important than in the past year. The critical role the BCFA plays in the education of our apprentices is key to the future of our the profession. Lastly, the professional development afforded to those who get involved develops our future leaders. We are all very proud to be part of BCFA.”
“Being a member of the BC Funeral Association has given our independent funeral home a voice on the provincial level. They have provided knowledge, experience, and expertise in helping navigate through several emerging challenges. It also has provided our firm with a vast network of colleagues and business we rely on. The BCFA’s legislative work has helped clarify the legal framework that we work within. This inclusive approach ensures that all voices are included at the decision-making table. In the last 8 years, we have put 4 apprentices through the education program. This has given us a firsthand opportunity to witness the benefits of the BCFA’s involvement in reducing supervision requirements and aligning the education process with the modern work environment. Having a strong provincial advocate is incredibly important to our profession, especially in these uncertain times.”
