COFFIN & CASKET COURSES
The course will provide you with the necessary practical knowledge to start your own coffin and/or casket
manufacturing business. Students will be allocated their own workspace with access to the required tools.
Courses are held in Kempton Park.
Students are required to arrive at 8.30am and depart at 4.00pm. One (max 2) students per course
can attend, hence booking is to be made at least three weeks in advance. The course is designed to facilitate
individual attention to each student. Free assistance will also be given to students for a period of 24
months after the course. A certificate of attendance will be issued on completion of the course.
Students must arrange their own accommodation. Refreshments and snacks will be provided by us during the day.
