PUTNAM — William Michael Juzwic, CFSP, a funeral director with Gilman & Valade Funeral Homes & Crematory in Putnam, recently qualified for recertification of the designation of Certified Funeral Service Practitioner (CFSP), by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice.
A number of professions grant special recognition to members upon completion of specified academic and professional programs and “CFSP” is funeral service’s national individual recognition.
The designation represents Juzwic electing to take part in quality educational and service opportunities that surpass what the funeral service licensing board in Connecticut requires. Initially the practitioner must complete a 180-hour program of continuing education activities and events. In addition, the practitioner is required to accumulate 20 hours per year to recertify.
