NFDA Applauds Congress for Introducing Legislation to Protect Grieving Families April 03, 2025 As the foremost advocate for grieving families and the funeral service profession, the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) commends Congress for introducing two critical pieces of legislation that will provide much-needed oversight to the whole-body donation process and financial relief for funeral expenses. The Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act (S. 1270/H.R. 2589) and the Funeral Coverage Act (H.R. 2436) reflect NFDA’s unwavering commitment to ensuring fairness, transparency and dignity in funeral service. These bills, along with several others, will be a key focus for NFDA members as they advocate on behalf of the profession during the upcoming NFDA Advocacy Summit, April 9-11 in Washington, D.C.
