When was the last time you had the opportunity to truly focus on your craft?
Not between calls. Not while juggling a full schedule. But real, uninterrupted time to learn, ask questions and sharpen your skills alongside experts and peers.
That’s exactly what the 2026 NFDA Embalming & Restorative Art Seminar offers! Seats are still available for the seminar, but they are filling quickly.
Taking place May 4 through 6 or May 6 through 8 at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science, this immersive, hands-on experience is designed for funeral professionals who want to elevate their work in the prep room.
This Is Not a Lecture. It’s a Lab.
This seminar goes beyond theory. You’ll see techniques demonstrated in real time and then apply them yourself using Headzo and Skullzo models, guided by experienced instructors.
You’ll walk away with practical, immediately usable skills in:
- Case analysis and arterial injection
- Cranial reconstruction and restorative art
- Cosmetic techniques and lifelike presentation
- Risk management and decision-making in complex cases
Just as important, you’ll gain confidence to take on more challenging cases and to deliver the highest level of care to the families you serve.
Learn From the Best
Instruction is led by faculty from the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science, along with NFDA experts, combining technical mastery with real-world insight.
And through the Ask the Experts session, you can bring your toughest cases and questions to the table.
Designed for Your Schedule
NFDA is offering two identical sessions, so you can choose the dates that work best for you. There’s also a one-day embalming-only option if you’re looking for focused training.
Why This Matters
The expectations of families are evolving. The complexity of cases is increasing. And the value of what you do in the prep room has never been greater.
This is your opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and invest in the skills that define your service.
