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 student
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 six
months after the course.
Students must arrange their own accommodation. Refreshments and snacks will be provided by us during the
day. Accommodation details can be viewed lower down.
