Countryside Funeral Homes • May 24, 2019

Continuous improvement is both personal and professional for Cindy. Last week she joined other Prearrangement Specialists in a course offered by Homesteaders Life Company.

Cindy Olson Prearrangement Specialist Training

There's a right way and a wrong way of doing just about everything, but when it comes to training we know the extra consideration and focus leads to better outcomes for everyone.

Countryside Funeral Homes' prearrangement specialist Cindy Olson attended a one-week workshop offered by Wanda Sizemore, director of Field Training and Development for Homesteaders Life Company.

Together they revisited the important benefits of Prearrangement Planning among other types of instruction designed to help families. "Additional info will come next week when we get back and hit it hard!" Sizemore said in a follow-up email to the group.

"Connecting with the family member that is thinking about this is very important. There are a lot of heart and head questions and decisions that inevitably come up," Olson said. "The training allows us ways to best align our work with the needs and desires of the client and his or her family."


Countryside Funeral Homes provide caring, "common sense" funeral information and guidance to help families with end-of-life needs and decisions. Contact us or browse our website to familiarize yourself with the benefits of prearrangement planning or our other services.
