Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Gene Ogrodnik, President & CEO of Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science is pleased to announce its Spring Continuing Education Event entitled 2011-PIMS Best Practices 101. This all day seminar sponsored by Pierce Chemicals/Royal Bond and PIMS will feature David Nixon, widely known and respected consultant and Melissa Drake and Kathy Williams of the well-known and respected American Funeral Consultants.

Funeral Service is undergoing much change… from increasing cremation rates and changing consumer behavior to shrinking operating margins to ill-prepared professionals considering the sale of their business or purchase of one. Realities of this transitioning industry will be covered and planning strategies for the future will be defined.

These 3 highly sought-after speakers will not disappoint!
