Funeral logistics is an air transport service that arises from the intersection of funeral services and logistics, requiring practitioners to possess expertise in both fields. Besides briefly discussing the air transport of remains and the professional handling of non-natural death remains, the speaker will introduce professional knowledge related to funeral studies. This includes the application of embalming techniques, funeral marketing, and the ethical conduct of practitioners, providing participants with a more comprehensive understanding of the funeral profession.
