The COVID-19 pandemic is stressful for every funeral director. Learn strategies to cope with the extra pressure you may be feeling and discuss resources on their website to support you and your family during these difficult times.

The NFDA Board of Directors and staff join all Americans in honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we might be free. The NFDA offices will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

Yesterday, the fourth COVID-19 relief bill was introduced in the House. NFDA has been working tirelessly with key members of Congress to ensure that funeral service professionals are included in this bill as essential workers and, therefore, eligible for hazard pay.

Join us for another live event during which you will get ideas for the things your firm needs to keep in mind so you can formulate a plan for the next phase of serving families during the pandemic.

Join us for a discussion about the impact the pandemic is having on grief and loss and how funeral directors can continue to strengthen relationships with grieving families and support communities during these challenging times.

A new, bipartisan bill introduced last week would give essential workers (including "mortuary services" workers) $25,000 toward student debt relief, college tuition, or costs of a workforce development or continuing education program.

NFDA has a limited quantity of FFP2 face masks available courtesy of the Terrybear Urns & Memorials. FFP2 masks are recognized by the CDC as an alternative to N95 masks. These are availble to members at no cost (you only pay shipping). 

Amazon has been restricting the purchase of PPE via www.amazon.com to medical personnel only. NFDA has been working with Amazon to loosen this restriction and allow NFDA members to purchase PPE. Take action by 4 p.m. CT on Wednesday, May 13 to get on the list!

No one knows when they might need the services of a funeral director, that’s why it’s important to stay top-of-mind with your community. That has taken on new importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Join Bill Ford and Jamie Hasty from SESCO Management Consultants as they help funeral home owners and managers understand best practices for navigating HR issues with their employees during the pandemic.
