Get Ready to Celebrate World United For Life Day on September 22!

August 22, 2024

Join the global movement! NFDA members are invited to come together with colleagues across the world for World United for Life Day on September 22. This special day is all about honoring the unique lives of those we've lost and celebrating their lasting impact. With funeral homes and cemeteries from more than 40 countries already committed, the question is: Will your funeral home be part of this worldwide event?

Established in 2012 by ALPAR (Asociación Gremial Latinoamericana de Cemeterios y Servicios Funerarios), World United for Life Day has become a truly international phenomenon. Millions people have participated in events that bring communities closer together while paying tribute to loved ones.

This is more than just a day—it's an opportunity to connect with your community on a deep and meaningful level. Whether you host a remembrance ceremony, a community gathering, or something uniquely your own, now is the time to start planning! ALPAR has made it easy with a dedicated website packed with suggested activities, marketing materials, and everything you need to make your event a success. Visit WorldUnitedForLife.com (click the American flag in the upper left corner to switch to English) and start crafting a memorable experience for your community today!
