Why certification?

In this increasingly competitive and litigious environment, having an edge that sets you apart from the rest of the market is critical. The CANA Crematory Operator Certification Program can be your mark of distinction, both ensuring that you and your employees have the most current crematory operations training available in the market today and providing evidence to the public of your commitment to safe cremation practices with the utmost respect and caring for their loved one.

Many states have now instituted training requirements for crematory operators. CANA has been recognized and selected by several states to be the official provider of operator training. CANA is endorsed by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) and the Funeral and Memorialization Information Council (FAMIC). CANA has conducted certification programs throughout the country for over 15 years and has certified thousands of operators in the United State, Canada and a number of other countries.
