For Immediate Release: September 2, 2021
Brookfield, Wis. – The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) is pleased to announce that 539 funeral home locations have earned a 2021 Pursuit of Excellence Award. This award is presented by NFDA annually to firms that have demonstrated a commitment to raising the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to strict ethical and professional standards and providing outstanding service to families and communities.
“As the pandemic continues to impact our country, funeral homes are finding extraordinary ways to meet the moment and provide meaningful support to grieving families and communities,” said NFDA Director of Public Relations Jessica Koth, who manages the Pursuit of Excellence Award program. “The Pursuit of Excellence Task Force was very impressed with this year’s entries and commends all of our honorees for their hard work and dedication during these challenging times.”
To earn a NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Award, a funeral home must demonstrate proficiency in key areas of funeral service, including compliance with state and federal regulations; staff participation in ongoing education and professional development; offering outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; maintaining an active level of involvement in the community; active participation in and service to the funeral service profession; and promoting funeral home services through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs. Participants are also required to adhere to a Pledge of Ethical Practices.
Information about the NFDA Pursuit of Excellence program can be found by visiting www.nfda.org/pursuitofexcellence. Registration and application materials for 2022 will be available in late-October 2021.
Richard Myers Pinnacle Award
NFDA is pleased to confer the Richard Myers Pinnacle Award on Arrington Funeral Directors in Jackson, Tennessee, for publishing the book, “Victory Over Death: Funeral Messages of Hope and Healing,” a tool to help ministers better serve members of their congregation who are grieving the death of a loved one. Arrington Funeral Directors is only the second funeral home to be honored since the Richard Myers Pinnacle Award was established in 2018.
As part of the entry process, all program participants are required to submit an essay describing the development and execution of a program or service that had a positive impact on those served. To recognize funeral homes that develop an extraordinary program or service, as described in their essay, that far surpasses the definition of funeral service excellence, NFDA established the Richard Myers Pinnacle Award.
The Richard Myers Pinnacle Award is conferred at the discretion of the Pursuit of Excellence Committee and only when it encounters a remarkable example of excellence in the profession. The award is named in honor of the founder of the Pursuit of Excellence Award NFDA Past President Richard Myers of Utah.
“Victory Over Death” was written to help both new and experienced ministers and lay church leaders, covers the grief response; how to work with families and funeral directors during the funeral planning process; leading meaningful funeral and committal services; and more.
Bob Arrington, owner of Arrington Funeral Directors, Rev. Ron Hale, the funeral home’s head of ministry and church outreach, and Joseph Lane, a licensed funeral director with the firm, contributed chapters to “Victory Over Death.” Arrington also invited number of local and nationally known ministers to contribute chapters, including the late Dr. Adrian Rogers of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee; Dr. Logan Hampton, president of Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee; Dr. Jerry Drace, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in Friendship, Tennessee; and Dr. Ronnie Floyd, president and CEO of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Arrington Funeral Directors has distributed “Victory Over Death” at no cost of ministers in the communities it serves; the book is also being sold on Amazon.
Best of the Best Award Recipients
All Pursuit of Excellence applicants submitted an essay describing the development and execution of a program or service that had a positive impact on the families they serve or their community, qualifying them for the Best of the Best Award, which recognizes the most novel and innovative programs and services in the profession.
Essays were judged on the uniqueness of the idea on a national and international level, quality of implementation, benefit to those served, benefit to the funeral home and how easily the idea could be replicated or modified by another funeral home. After a thorough review, the Pursuit of Excellence Task Force selected three funeral homes to receive the Best of the Best Award:
- Brunswick Memorial Home, East Brunswick, New Jersey
- Funeraria San Vicente S.A., Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia
- Mililani Memorial Park & Mortuary, Waipahu, Hawaii, and Company
As they reviewed the essays to select the Best of the Best honorees, the Pursuit of Excellence Task Force noted a number of programs and services that were very well-executed and yielded positive results for the community served by the funeral home. The Task Force recognized these funeral homes with a Certificate of Honorable Mention:
