I think that I have found my next persuit! Mount Ida College, near Boston, offers a certificate in Thanatology (the study of death, dying, and bereavement) that can be completed through classes on campus or online. Each course is 10 CE units, $250, and one month long. The certificate requires 60 CE units and an academic project. Totally going for this! http://www.mountida.edu/sp.cfm?pageid=689 Mount Ida College: Online Courses 60 CE units are also what is required to apply for the Certified in Thanatology credential.

Awesome! Some guy listed some a few other programs in thanatology here. Programs in Thanatology, Death, Bereavement, Palliative Care
I enjoyed a course that I took in thanatology. "The 60 documented contact hours may be earned through university courses (one three-credit semester course is equivalent to 45 contact hours) or workshops." So evidently I already have 45 of the contact hours complete with my 03 credit course.
