2024 Advocacy Summit

Our voices were heard!

Thank you to every one of the 170 funeral service professionals who gathered in Washington D.C. at the 2024 Advocacy Summit. We spoke with members of Congress and advocated for our profession. Together, we brought important issues affecting our profession to the Capitol.
