PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The purpose of this qualification is to enable a learner to operate as a Funeral Director.

A Funeral Director plans, coordinates and manages arrangements for funerals according to the wishes of the deceased or their relatives.

A qualified learner will be able to:
  • Plan and conduct a funeral service and market products and services of a funeral home.
  • Co-ordinate, organise, monitor and manage the transportation of human remains, the bereaved family and funeral equipment in line with industry standards.
  • Manage the body in the mortuary, prepare the body for viewing, and oversee the viewing process.
  • Manage and prepare for cremation, burial and interment and monitor the mortician's activities.

    Graduate attributes
  • Proficiency, efficiency, and effectiveness in completing different funeral-related activities at a funeral parlour.
  • Integrity and high ethical standards in dealing with confidential information and in ensuring that a very sensitive period for the bereaved family is managed with professionalism.
  • Empathy when engaging with the family and friends of the deceased.

    Rationale:
    The funeral services industry in South Africa is currently valued at R10 billion a year, which is quite significant. The industry has been growing at around 12% annually. Funeral services in South Africa are a highly competitive and the industry is largely unregulated. There are an estimated 70,000 undertakers (funeral directors) and 15,000 funeral parlours/homes in operation hence a need for the qualification.

    While there are other qualifications and a skills programme in the funeral/burial space listed in sub-section 2.2 below, there is no qualification for a Funeral Director, the principal person that manages and directs funeral homes/parlours and mortuaries.

    The role of the funeral director is pivotal in the whole business process of coordinating and directing funeral services. Funeral homes offer a number of services and all these homes require a person that can coordinate and manage their activities so that the funerals can be appropriately managed and the wishes of the deceased and their families are carried out as planned.

    In addition, over the years, the number of funerals has increased significantly in various sections of South African Society, a growth which can also be attributed to the influx of foreigners into the country. In response, the number of funeral homes has increased. The funeral sector has also seen new developments and changes in their business processes. All these developments emphasise the need for a qualification for the funeral director.

    This qualification provides a learner with competencies required to plan, co-ordinate and execute arrangements of funerals in line with the wishes of the deceased, relatives or friend of the deceased. This qualification specifically combines competencies at a practitioner level with supervisory or management-related competencies.

    Similar Qualification(s), Part-Qualifications/Skills Programmes, already NQF registered/ QCTO approved are:
  • Occupational Certificate: Embalmer, NQF Level 6.
  • Occupational Certificate: Embalmer's Assistant, NQF Level 5.
  • Intermediate Occupational Certificate: Mortician, NQF Level 3.
  • Intermediate Occupational Certificate: Mortician, (NQF Level 3.

    This qualification will specifically benefit learners with an interest in establishing a career in the broader funeral sector. The qualification will also give people who have been doing funeral director-related work in South Africa without any formal training based on a relevant qualification or accredited training an opportunity to obtain formal recognition for their skills.

    Qualifying learners would be able to seek employment in the growing funeral industry at funeral parlours or mortuaries and/or to even start their businesses. In this way, they will make a substantial contribution to the economy.

    Achieving this Funeral Director qualification will provide several benefits to the learner, including:
  • Conducting funerals according to the wishes of the deceased or their families and friends and appropriate cultural and religious protocols
  • Being able to pursue a career in the funeral sector and become employable in it.
  • Contributing to the professionalisation of the occupation.
  • Adding integrity to the funeral services sector.

    Society will benefit because qualified funeral directors will ensure that funerals are conducted professionally, efficiently, with the appropriate degree of empathy and decorum and with all the wishes of the deceased and their families being fulfilled. The families and friends of the deceased will benefit from the services of funeral directors who are trained to manage funerals and give their clients comfort and ease during their bereavement.

    Typical learners would be school leavers, unemployed and employed persons (with an NQF Level 4 qualification) and those already in the funeral services sector without prior formal training.

    Collaboration with relevant stakeholders:
  • South African Funeral Practitioners Association (SAFPA)
  • National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA)
  • National Undertakers Association of South Africa (NUASA)
  • South African Federation of Funeral Assurance Societies (Saffas)
  • Cooperative Funeral Solutions (CFS)
  • National Funeral Practitioners Association of South Africa (NAFUPA SA)
  • WEFDA and National Association of South African Undertakers (NASAU) were part of the consultation processes.

    The qualifying learner will operate in the following occupations:
  • Funeral Directors or Funeral Undertakers.
  • Embalmers.
  • Morticians.

    Integrated Assessment
    Formative Assessments conducted internally
    Formative assessments are conducted throughout the training of learners. A range of formal, non-formal, and informal ongoing assessment activities are used to focus on teaching and learning outcomes to improve learner attainment.

    Formative assessments are conducted continuously by the facilitator to feed into further learning, to identify strengths and weakness, and to ensure the learner's ability to apply knowledge, skills and workplace experience gained.

    Formative Assessments are conducted by the accredited Skills Development Provider (SDP), and a variety of ongoing assessment methods may be used, for example, quizzes, assignments, tests, scenarios, role play, interviews. Continuous feedback must be provided.

    Integrated Summative Assessments conducted Internally
    Integrated Assessment involves all the different types of assessment tasks required for a particular qualification, part-qualification or occupational skills programme, such as written assessment of theory and practical demonstration of competence. To achieve this, the Internal Assessment Criteria (IAC) for all modules as found in the QCTO curriculum document must be followed.

    An accredited SDP should implement a well-designed, formal, relevant, final internal Summative Assessment strategy for all modules to prepare learners for the EISA. These assessments evaluate learning achievements relating to the achievement of each module of the relevant components of the qualification, part-qualification or skills programme.

    Internal Summative Assessments are developed, moderated and conducted by the SDP at the end of each module or after integration of relevant modules, e.g. applied knowledge tests, workplace tasks, practical demonstrations, simulated tasks/demonstrations, projects, case studies, etc.

    The results of these final formal summative assessments must be recorded. These results, which include the Statement of Work Experience results, where applicable, contribute to the Statement of Results (SoR) that is a requirement for admission to the EISA. An SoR, using the template provided by the Quality Partner, is issued by the accredited SDP for qualifications and part-qualifications. The SDP must produce a valid Statement of Results for each learner, indicating the final result and the date on which the competence in each module, of each component, was achieved. Learners are required to produce this SoR, together with their ID document or alternative ID document, at the point of the EISA.
  • External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA) - a national assessment
    The Quality Partner is responsible for the management, conduct and implementation of the External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA), in accordance with QCTO set standards. Competence in the EISA is a requirement for certificating a learner.

    For entrance into the EISA, the learner requires a valid Statement of Results issued by the accredited institution indicating:

    The attainment of all modules for the Knowledge, Practical and Work Experience modules.
    OR
    The attainment of all modules for the Knowledge and Application Components.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    An international comparability study was undertaken to identify qualifications similar to this qualification in terms of scope, cognitive levels and content of the curricula.

  • cemeteries or crematorium, managing burials, burial works and cremation services or managing grounds and maintenance works and activities.
