Plum resident earns special funeral practitioner certification

Anna Zvirman-Nesbit of Plum has qualified for the designation of certified funeral service practitioner by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice.

A number of professions grant special recognition to members on completion of specified academic and professional programs, and CFSP is the funeral service’s national individual recognition.

To initially receive the award, a 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.

Certified practitioners may use the CFSP designation with their names for business letterheads, professional cards and other appropriate uses. Certification is for individuals only and is not used to imply certification of a firm.

Zvirman-Nesbit is co-owner of Soxman Funeral Home of Penn Hills.
