Fédération Internationale des Associations de Thanatologues - International Federation of Thanatologists Associations (FIAT-IFTA), the world organization of funeral operatives, is excited to launch the first-ever global survey on embalming. They warmly invite funeral directors and embalmers throughout the globe to take part.
This groundbreaking survey aims to capture a comprehensive picture of embalming and preparation practices around the world. Even if full embalming is not available or commonly practiced in your country, your response is still crucial. The survey is designed to reflect the diversity of approaches to body preparation and care globally.
The insights gathered will help FIAT-IFTA:
- Understand embalming practices in different regions
- Identify challenges and variations in techniques
- Work toward establishing global minimal standards for different types of embalming
- Ultimately improve the care provided to bereaved families everywhere
Your voice matters. By participating, you are contributing to a global effort to advance the funeral service profession and the service provided to grieving families. The survey is open until September 20.
