Our on-location training seminars and video-based teaching courses grew from the intimate experiences of our Executive Training Director and Co-Founder, Richard Brundage, in both the media and the funeral service industries. Richard is a national award-winning producer, director, lecturer, and media-response trainer. Before his career in broadcast journalism, he was a licensed funeral director and embalmer and grew up in a family with over a hundred years of tradition in funeral service. Becoming more and more uncomfortable with the way the funeral service industry is portrayed by an increasingly tabloid media, he decided to bring his unique and critically acclaimed video training and "live" seminar, that he has been teaching worldwide for 20 years, to the funeral service industry. His vision, along with Director of Training Operations and Cofounder David Wallace, was to tailor the live seminar and to make the video-based training courses available to educate, train, and empower funeral service professionals and to change forever the way they look at and respond to the media. As a result, everyone at the Center for Funeral Media Studies is committed to providing the highest quality media relations and media response training available, specifically designed to help funeral service professionals, at a price that everyone can afford. This is truly a national first!
