What is included in the hotel accommodations?

Hotel Information
Emory Conference Center
1615 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30329

NFDA makes arrangements for all Mentees at the Emory Conference Center Hotel. Two nights of lodging are covered by a grant from the Funeral Service Foundation. Hotel check-in is 4 p.m. and check-out is 12 p.m.

If you are a Mentee who needs additional nights’ lodging, NFDA will make your reservations, based on availability, at your expense. The rate is $169 + taxes & fees per night, with no meal plan. You are also responsible for any meals and incidental charges beyond what is provided by NFDA for participation in the program.


What options do I have for transportation from the Airport?

Travel time from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to the hotel is approximately 25 minutes. Visit the Hotel & Travel page for more information on ground transportation, including taxi cab information, ride-sharing options and rental car discounts. For additional ground transportation options, visit the ground transportation page of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's website.


Will I receive continuing education credit?

Continuing education may be available in some states. Contact your NFDA member services representative at 1-800-228-6332 with questions about CE in your state.
