Danny Jackson Otts of Sulligent, Alabama, has recently qualified the designation of certified funeral service practitioner (CFSP), by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice. A number of professions grant special recognition to members upon completion of specified academic and professional programs, and “CFSP” is funeral service’s national individual recognition.
The Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice, since its 1976 founding, aims to recognize those practitioners who have voluntarily entered into a program of personal and professional growth; raise and improve the standards of funeral service; and to encourage practitioners to make continuing education a lifelong process in their own self-interest, the interest of the families they serve, and the community in which they serve.
To initially receive this award, the 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. Credits are awarded by the academy for work leading to personal or professional growth in four areas: Academic Activities, Professional Activities, Career Review, and Community and Civic Activities.
Danny is the owner of Otts Funeral Home in Sulligent, which was established in January 1987.
