Funeral Directors

As a funeral director, the user-friendly DAVE system can help you by getting your daily tasks done more quickly. For instance, medical certifiers will be able to sign off on death certificates in a timely manner since mailing paper forms will not be necessary. Getting certified copies for families will also be simplified due to electronic ordering.

(NOTE: Lessons open in a new window; and when done with a lesson, simply close the window for that lesson.)
