NFDA is pleased to announce that 160 funeral homes have earned a 2019 Pursuit of Excellence Award. Five funeral homes have earned a Best of the Best Award and seven firms are inducted into the association's Hall of Excellence. 

To help those who are grieving the death of a loved one reflect, remember and find relaxation, NFDA has introduced the Remembering A Life Self-care Box. The box, which makes a meaningful gift for the families you serve, is part of NFDA’s Remembering A Life consumer outreach and education initiative. 

The 2019 NFDA Cremation and Burial Report projects that by 2040, the cremation rate in the U.S. will reach 78.7%. NFDA members may download their complimentary copy of this critical report. 

The NFDA Policy Board met today in San Diego, Calif., and elected Linda Allan and Daniel Ford to serve as at-large representatives on the association's Board of Directors. They will begin two-year terms of service immediately following the 2019 NFDA Convention.

The 2019 NFDA International Convention & Expo will offer funeral professionals an opportunity to get their future in focus, while reliving the past and exploring the present, through unequalled opportunities for learning, networking and discovering new products and services.
