SUMMARY:So You Want to be a Mortician-A Real-World Guide to Breaking Into Death Care Feb 23\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:How to Become a Mortician: A Real-World Guide to Breaking Into Death Care \nI wish I had guidance when I was trying to figure out how to become a mortician. The reality is that our underground world in death care is truly difficult to break into. Historically funeral directing was a family-run business passed down from generation after generation. Rarely were outsiders like you and I accepted to work in the noble profession. Things are changing\, and now is a better time than ever for those interested in becoming a mortician to break in…especially women! I am a first-generation funeral director\, and I had to learn over years of having doors slammed in my face how to break into the profession. It took me 14 years\, but I finally made it! I will show you how I became a funeral industry leader/influencer and help you become one too! \nOver the years my email box and social media DMs have been inundated with questions from people like yourself asking\, “How do I become a Mortician?” I had so many that I decided to create a class to help people fulfill their dreams. \nYou will have all you need to begin your journey to care for the dead and comfort the grieving. Your investment includes: \n\nHow to build a Morticians resume\nHow to use social media to leverage an entry-level job at a funeral home\nA strategic plan on how to land your dream job\nA copy of my personal professional directory of funeral service professors from around the USA\nDetailed information that will answer all your questions on what to expect in a career as a funeral director or embalmer\, such as\nWhat will I earn?\nCan I study by distance?\nWhat does an embalmer or a funeral director actually do?\nWhat skills do I need to be a funeral director?\nWhat training and leadership resources are available to me?\nWhat exactly is embalming?\nHow do I gain experience?\nCan I just do the make up and hair?\nLearn skills you will need working in a male-dominated science field\nHow will I know if I can handle a career working with dead bodies?\nDo I have to work with dead bodies in order to be a mortician?\nWho to contact to help you study for and pass the National Board Exam on the first time\nA personal letter of recommendation with my logo and letterhead for future employers\nA 1 hour one on one mock interview coaching session with me for your first big job at a funeral home\nShwag bag with Cold Hands Merch\n\nIncluded Bonus: Scholarship Guide \nMost importantly\, you will get your own downloadable pdf copy of my scholarship guide\, \nThe Future Morticians Guide to Academic Scholarships – $495 value \nMy booklet includes over $60\,000 dollars worth of future mortician-specific scholarship opportunities! \nYes\, that’s right\, I have completed over 10 years’ worth of research to find these opportunities and documented them all in one place for you!

SUMMARY:Death of a Pet Jul 21\, 2024 IN PERSON at Curious Nature
DESCRIPTION:Course Duration: 2 hour \nDescription: Join me at Curious Nature for this IN PERSON event! \nMonica Torres LFD and internally recognized Embalmer/Postmortem Reconstructive Specialist shares her own experiences preparing her beloved pet Fancy after a traumatic and unexpected death due to a dog fight. This class includes dos and don’ts of preparations of the body including special considerations for trauma cases and unexpected deaths. The course includes technical postmortem instruction on how to provide a home funeral successfully for a beloved pet. \nIn many instances losing our beloved pets can be more impactful than losing a human counterpart. The bonds we share with our animals are unlike any human relationship we encounter. In this enthralling seminar\, Torres presents and delivers a practical guideline on how to create a loving tribute at home for your beloved pet prior to burial or cremation with body centered focus. \nTorres offers practical technical training on how to disinfect\, bathe and prepare the dead body of a family pet or service animal for public or private viewing. Further exploration focuses on the social aspects of how the death of a pet can be traumatizing and isolating. Torres imparts personal experience and tips on how to move through this difficult process with the support of friends and family. Once our pet is “put down” or found expired\, a separate journey begins. There are options that most are not aware of such as preparing the body of your beloved pet at home and hosting your own home funeral for your pet and your family. This course is suitable for professionals or those who wish to provide after death care themselves \n \nEvent Number: 21-9370\nContact Hours: 2\nAPFSP Category: B\nAPFSP CEUs: 2

SUMMARY:Embalming the Infant Death Apr 23\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Course Duration: 2 Hours \n Description: ADVANCED \nThe only technical seminar of its kind\, this modern course focuses on the undertaking and difficult subject of embalming babies. Beginning with history of infant death care “where we have been and where we are going.” The course offers insight to trends in the birthing industry and how the funeral industry is being affected. In a time when cremation has moved onto the main stage in American death culture this course was designed to help professionals keep the focus on the body. By offering valuable technical training from traditional techniques to modern and advanced preparation options such as facial reconstruction and restoration and full body restoration; this training seminar begins by challenging the professional to rethink traditional infant death care services. Focused primarily on technical training this seminar dives deep into the complicated challenges of embalming\, autopsied cases\, miscarriages\, stillborn\, and decomposed hard cases requiring advanced skill set. Finally\, this training program approaches legal considerations and guides professionals how to acquire proper authorizations to preform advanced techniques while maintaining the integrity of their firm. Walk away with new tips and refocused skills to help maintain relevance in your prep room. This course is excellent for embalmers of all experience levels. \nEvent Number: 20-8792\nContact Hours: 2\nAPFSP Category: B\nAPFSP CEUs: 0.2

SUMMARY:Eco-Friendly Treatments for Unembalmed Remains
DESCRIPTION:Created especially for professionals dealing with rising levels of unembalmed cases due to demand for cremation services\, ID views\, family-assisted dress sessions\, or firms embracing green burial options. Eco-Friendly Treatments for Unembalmed Bodies brings us back to the fundamentals of decedent care. Embracing this trend is no longer an option for morticians. As cremation continues to rise and aquamation and composting make their way into mainstream death care\, many are left wondering how to implement new services that keep the focus on the body. In this thought-provoking seminar\, the science of embalming takes a backseat\, and artful disinfection-led restoration and desairology take the wheel. \nExplore how educating families protects the integrity of your firm\, how to gain relevant legal authorizations for naturally treated bodies\, and modern cosmetic application techniques for unembalmed skin. This seminar raises the standards of unembalmed care and service options for normal cases and addresses solutions for autopsied cases that are not embalmed. \nStudents will leave with a diagram of the NO LEAK TORRES TECHNIQUE and Monica’s Cold Hands Eco Friendly Disinfecting Solution Recipe \nClass Number: 21-9315\nContact Hours: 2

SUMMARY:The Future of Embalming
DESCRIPTION:1 hr seminar \nThis online experience is available to the public. Join your lady embalmer for the first time in history on a fantastic journey into the underbelly of the death industry and into the embalming room where Cold Hands Hosts YOU! This experience is designed for those who are curious about pursuing a career as a professional mortician\, end of life doula or for those who simply have an unsatiated passion to learn about anatomy and mortuary science. Finally\, there is a respectful place for your morbid curiosity to thrive. \nAward-winning and internationally recognized embalming technical trainer Monica Torres will share new techniques in postmortem demi surgery that mimic trends in modern-day plastic surgery. You will marvel at illustrated trademarked techniques such as the No Wax Torres Technique for postmortem hair replacement\, the Torres Tummy Tuck Technique for autopsy repair cases\, and the No Leak Torres Technique for green burial enthusiasts. \nParticipants will get an inside look at what the modernization of a century-old American death practice looks like. Ms. Torres will briefly cover the history of embalming and the transformation from an American wartime death craft into a highly commercialized technical trade skill. Monica will also share what her company is doing to propel the waning dark art into our modern era\, where beautification and expression of the dead human body are unparalleled. \nFinally\, common questions will be answered during the Cold Hands Answers “slab side chat.” Ms. Torres invites the participant into a safe place to explore the subject of conquering common fears surrounding death and death work. \nOur goal is to provide you with a comfortable and warm environment to learn about death and embalming.  We are burying the last taboo and invite you to ask questions about the dismal trade and become part of our Cold Hands Community\, where experiencing the macabre is a way of life. \nParticipants must be 18 years of age and must sign a waiver of release of liability. \nDISCLAIMER: This course contains graphic images. Permission has been granted from the families of the deceased for educational purposes\, and the dignity of the deceased will not be compromised.

SUMMARY:Cold Hands Workshop and Retreat 2023
DESCRIPTION:When:\nMay 18-20\, 2023 \nWhere: Reserve your room here\nMarriot Resort Tempe at the Buttes\n$169 per night plus taxes and resort fee (not included in ticket sale) \nWhy:\nI need to recharge and reset. Since things have slowed down after the pandemic\, I have felt myself feeling the serious effects of compassion fatigue and restlessness due to the trauma I was exposed to\, embalming countless loved ones who succumbed to COVID-19. I know my embalmer sisters are too.  I have wanted to host a self-care retreat since 2016. After the new year\, I committed to making it a reality!  \nMy vision for this event is for a long weekend of relaxation with the women who inspire and lift me up where we can have fun\, “let our down\,” and leave recharged\, ready to face our families and careers. I have chosen a safe place where we can focus on relationships with like-minded friends\, old and new. The huge bonus is we get CEUS for self-care! Each year I indulge in a getaway with my closest girlfriends\, some of whom are morticians. This year I figured why not take advantage of my accreditation status and plan a formal event we can all get CEUS for?! \nThis women-only workshop and retreat is a safe space that will include opportunities for serious self-care\, professional development\, inner reflection\, and mind-body and soul rejuvenation. Our theme is “Fear Fighting\,” and there will be opportunities for female morticians to grow professionally and personally.

SUMMARY:So You Want to be a Mortician
DESCRIPTION:I wish I had guidance when I was trying to figure out how to become a mortician. The reality is that our underground world in death care is truly difficult to break into. Historically funeral directing was a family-run business passed down from generation after generation. Rarely were outsiders like you and I accepted to work in the noble profession. Things are changing\, and now is a better time than ever for those interested in becoming a mortician to break in…especially women! I am a first-generation funeral director\, and I had to learn over years of having doors slammed in my face how to break into the profession. It took me 14 years\, but I finally made it! I will show you how I became a funeral industry leader/influencer and help you become one too! \nOver the years my email box and social media DMs have been inundated with questions from people like yourself asking\, “How do I become a Mortician?” I had so many that I decided to create a class to help people fulfill their dreams. \nYou will have all you need to begin your journey to care for the dead and comfort the grieving. Your investment includes: \n\nHow to build a Morticians resume\nHow to use social media to leverage an entry-level job at a funeral home (believe me\, this is important to understand what to post and what NOT to post)\nA strategic plan on how to land your dream job\nA copy of my personal professional directory of funeral service professors from around the USA\nDetailed information that will answer all your questions on what to expect in a career as a funeral director or embalmer\, such as\nWhat will I earn?\nCan I study by distance?\nWhat does an embalmer or a funeral director actually do?\nWhat skills do I need to be a restorative artist/embalmer like Cold Hands?\nWhat skills do I need to be a funeral director?\nWhat training and leadership resources are available to me?\nWhat exactly is embalming?\nHow do I gain experience?\nLearn skills you will need working in a male-dominated science field\nHow will I know if I can handle a career working with dead bodies?\nDo I have to work with dead bodies in order to be a mortician?\nWho to contact to help you study for and pass the National Board Exam on the first time\nA personal letter of recommendation with my logo and letterhead for future employers\n40% off all embalming courses (upon acceptance into an accredited college of mortuary science)\nA 1 hour one on one mock interview coaching session with me for your first big job at a funeral home\nShwag bag with Cold Hands Merch\nAcceptance into my Cold Hands Community FB page\, which contains 100 of the most influential leaders in the funeral industry\n\nMost importantly\, you will get your own downloadable pdf copy of my pdf booklet\, \n“The Future Morticians Guide to Academic Scholarships” – $495 value \nMy booklet includes over $60\,000 dollars worth of future mortician-specific scholarship opportunities! No future mortician should have to pay out of pocket for education. \nYes\, that’s right\, I have completed over 10 years’ worth of research to find these opportunities and documented them all in one place for you! No future mortician should have to pay for school\, but knowing where to look and who to talk to is the key. \nNeed payment options? We accept Paypal Pay Later and offer student financing options through our partners Lending USA (available to American citizens).
