A new session of Congress began last week, bringing critical opportunities to shape national policies that affect the funeral profession, small businesses and grieving families. The 2025 NFDA Advocacy Summit, taking place April 9-11 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., is your chance to connect directly with federal lawmakers and ensure funeral service professionals’ voices are heard.

You play a vital role in generating support for the issues that matter most to the profession, your businesses and the profession. By sharing your experiences as a funeral director, you help lawmakers understand how their decisions impact your ability to serve grieving families and your community. Your participation truly makes a difference in advancing policies that support funeral service.

The Advocacy Summit offers a variety of meaningful activities, including issue briefings, networking opportunities and an impactful day of meeting on Capitol Hill with your elected officials. 

Early-bird registration ends March 7. Register soon to secure your spot book accommodations at the Mayflower Hotel at the exclusive NFDA rate. Registering by March 7, 2025, will also give NFDA the lead time needed to request and schedule Congressional meetings for Summit participants.
