Time is running out to register for one of NFDA’s most hands-on, skill-building educational experiences of the year. The 2026 Embalming & Restorative Art Seminar is just weeks away, and space is limited. If you’ve been considering attending, now is the time to act.
This immersive seminar, taking place May 4 through 6 or May 6 through 8 at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science (PIMS), is designed for funeral professionals who want to sharpen their technical skills, strengthen decision-making in the prep room and return to their firms with techniques they can use immediately.
Step Away. Focus. Improve.
Day-to-day demands don’t often allow time to slow down and focus on your craft. This seminar does.
Through live embalming demonstrations, guided restorative art application and in-depth instruction, you’ll have the opportunity to observe, ask questions and practice techniques in a way that simply isn’t possible in your day-to-day work environment.
What You’ll Gain
Participants will dive into:
- Real-world embalming challenges and risk management
- Case analysis and advanced preparation techniques
- Cranial reconstruction and restorative art using Headzo and Skullzo
- Cosmetic application, color theory and finishing techniques
- Practical insights from experienced instructors and peers
You’ll leave with greater confidence, refined skills and a fresh perspective on the important work you do every day.
Flexible Options to Fit Your Schedule
With two identical seminar offerings, you can choose the dates that work best for you:
There is also a one-day embalming-only option on May 6 for those seeking focused instruction.
