Funeral Arranger Review

My role as a funeral arranger- I take part in funeral arrangements, Looking after the deceased's in the chapel of rest. I am also sometimes required to help out with back of house duty's, sometimes to help out on funerals if needed. My role can be very demanding but equally rewarding.

I felt my tutor was very well organised, she was always on hand to help me and nothing was a problem. She explained everything to me and in lots of detail. I did however feel like some of the work was repetitive and not very interesting, I found this made me not want to do it even though I knew it needed completed.

I found that sometimes my workload out weighed my apprenticeship and there wasn't enough hours in the working day to complete my apprenticeship work. So a lot of the time I was doing work from home or coming into the office early to catch up on my apprenticeship work.

I found my tutor was 100 % supportive, she was always on hand to answer text or emails and always came back to me to double check I understand everything. I found her very approachable and really wanted me to do well. I really appreciated the support throughout the process. She also would continually check I was ok and I was being supported in all aspects.

I feel that even though I have found parts of the apprenticeship very interesting, I feel I have learned much more doing practical things in the branch and shadowing colleges. I feel I have learned more on the apprenticeship with regards to the legal and finance side of things and the particulars.

The Co-op has supplied me with very good training and it is always up to date. The team I work with are fantastic and the wider team is equally fantastic. I also feel that working for a large company is good, we are very fortunate we have access to any supplies or equipment we need. I would happily recommend working for the Co-op to a friend.
