New Resources on the NFDA COVID-19 Information Hub
On March 19, at NFDA’s urging, the Department of Homeland Security issued guidance to states naming mortuary workers as “critical infrastructure workers.” We have a breakdown of what this means for you.
Are you concerned about contracting COVID-19 from surviving family members, regardless of their loved one’s cause of death? See our advice on the new Transfers and Arrangements page.
We’ve updated and clarified the information on our Technical Information page to keep you safe while performing removals and embalming.
Check out the updated information about funeral webcasting on the Visitations and Funerals page. Matt Smith also shared a great video about livestreaming, which is on our Practical Guidance Webinars page.
