Working with a variety of professionals, such as hospice professionals or death doulas, can be comforting to both the individual who is dying and their family and friends. These compassionate individuals are trained to attend to the needs of individuals at the end of life, with the goal of bringing a sense of calm and peace to the dying process. Engaging one or more of these professionals to work with your family can help family members and friends say meaningful goodbyes and transition in a healthy way as they begin their grief journey.
Funeral homes that belong to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) are held accountable per NFDA’s enforceable Code of Professional Conduct, which outlines various ethical and professional practices to which NFDA member funeral homes must adhere. This self-driven set of standards raises the bar for funeral directors by ensuring the highest quality professional practices of NFDA members.
When you choose to work with an NFDA-member funeral home, you can be confident the funeral home’s staff will adhere to the highest standards of excellence when serving your family and taking your loved one into their care.
NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients have been recognized by the National Funeral Directors Association for their dedication to serving families and their community.
NFDA Green Funeral Practices™ Certificate program participants have met specific requirements for funeral homes that provide green funerals and natural burials in their community.
