These strategy sessions are your chance to swap experiences, ideas and best practices to advance your funeral home to the next level. OGR Study Group meet in various cities across the country and the world. Members may participate in one or more of the study groups simultaneously. "When I bought my second location, those study groups and OGR overall were invaluable because they coached me on what it would be like to have a second location and how to make it through that transition, both the challenges and the positives....It’s a resource and a network of funeral directors. We brainstorm and support each other and come up with some really creative ideas."
