The ideas and insights…

The ideas and insights that we have gained have been very important to our firm, while we don’t try everything that comes out, it does stimulate our thinking and trying ideas of our own.

Confidence to take my city by storm…

Todd’s training over the years is second to none. The tools Todd handed me gave me the confidence to take my city by storm. Learning how to make the media work for you instead of against you is key. His programs are so uplifting and inspiring. I have never once seen a presentation that Todd didn’t have 100% of everyone’s attention. Not seeing growth in your business? Then you haven’t met Todd yet. What are you waiting for?

Todd’s quotes…

As a personal friend, there is never a day that I don’t think of one of Todd’s quotes or words of wisdom which I can apply to our profession.

You have inspired me…

You have been an inspiration to me as a Funeral Director. I have listened to you at conventions and seminars around the country. I am proud to be a Funeral Director and am glad that you have the passion about this profession and that you show us all how to be better at what we do for families. I can’t thank you enough.

I have tried to attend every presentation…

The first time I heard you speak was at the New Jersey Convention. Since that time, I have tried to attend every presentation you have given within reasonable driving distance. The diversity of your experience and the ease and candour with which you present information has always helped and inspired me to improve. Thank you for all you do for funeral service.

I had the honour …

I had the honour of going to a seminar by Todd Van Beck. It was truly eye opening and helped to reinforce the importance of our profession to our fellow man and the communities we serve. Thanks Mr. Van Beck

As we both know…

Todd, as we both know but you will not admit – you are a walking encyclopedia of funeral knowledge – I enjoyed your teachings and vast knowledge of this great profession and your unique ability of delivering the materials. Some things amaze me and this experience with you has been one of them. You are the best Todd – in what you do, you are the best.

I’ve had the privilege…

I’ve had the privilege of hearing Todd speak at a clergy relations meeting we hosted with a group in our area, and at a variety of conferences and meetings with a varied professional group ranging from Trust 100, MFDA, New England Institute, NFDA, and more. I always find something fascinating to learn and I enjoy the passion and detail Todd expresses in a very compassionate manner.

Pillar of funeral service….

Todd VanBeck has been a pillar of funeral service in my mind since I started in this business over 20 years ago.  I first heard him speak at an NFDA convention and he brought me to tears and made me think “I want to be like him”.  The way he tells a story, making his listener laugh and bringing them to tears with heartfelt, honest stories, is a gift.  He knows the importance of funerals and of funeral service and he is not afraid to tell anyone who will listen.  We need more advocates of funeral service like Todd Van Beck out there.  We have enough people the value of celebrating the life, but if people do not find the value in a funeral service, all the personalized corners and photo service folders in the world won’t save our industry or, most importantly, the people we care for.

Todd’s ability to engage…

Todd’s ability to engage all members of the funeral home staff and the respect that he demonstrates for each person’s role in best serving the families is reflective of his overall care, concern and commitment to quality funeral service.
