Bo Murphy

Iuka - Bo Murphy recently earned his Certified Crematory Operator (CCO) designation from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA). The NFDA Cremation Certification Program™ is a voluntary certification program that helps funeral directors better serve the needs of families that desire cremation.

Nationally, in 2012, 43.2 percent of people who died in the United States were cremated, up from 34.2 percent in 2007. As the cremation rate continues to increase, ensuring that funeral home and crematory staff are properly trained to meet the needs of families that choose cremation is of utmost importance.

NFDA’s Cremation Certification Program provides participants with instruction in best practices for safe, proper and ethical crematory operations and for excellence in service to families that choose cremation. Seminars cover the topics required by state law and are designed to develop understanding, skills, and a broad working knowledge of proper operational procedures as well as required and prudent administrative procedures.

From simple, direct cremation to full service traditional funerals with cremation as an option for final disposition, Cutshall Funeral Home is leading the area in accommodating the needs of the families they serve.
