Funeral professionals who want to enhance their leadership skills to make a positive difference in their associations and the profession should attend the 2018 NFDA Leadership Conference, July 8-11 at the spectacular Omni Park Grove Inn in Asheville, NC.

Former First Lady of the United States Laura Bush and former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani will give the keynote addresses during the 2018 NFDA International Convention & Expo, October 14-17 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

NFDA has launched Remembering a Life, a guide to help consumers honor a life well-lived, from planning a tribute to mourning a loved one. The site also positions funeral directors as local memorialization experts. 

Registration is open for the new NFDA Embalming & Restorative Art Seminar, May 17-18 at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science in Pittsburgh, PA. 

NFDA has launched the Remembering a Life Film Contest, an initiative to inspire filmmakers to create films that commemorate the life of someone who has died, or pay tribute to someone who is still alive.
