NFDA and the Funeral Service Foundation are delighted to announce their lead contributions totaling $250,000 to the Foundation’s newly-announced COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund. 

At the urging of NFDA, guidance issued today by the Department of Homeland Security named mortuary workers as “critical infrastructure workers,” underscoring the vital role funeral directors and others who work in deathcare play in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the unprecedented public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and current guidance from the White House and the CDC regarding public gatherings, NFDA is cancelling its Professional Women’s Conference and Advocacy Summit.

The Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC) has announced NFDA has assumed management of the Have the Talk of a Lifetime consumer education initiative.
