Information for funeral professionals and suppliers

Last week Funeral Director Daily realized it could make a difference getting out information, mostly pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic and our profession.  Over a few days we attempted to aggregate information that could be useful to people in the death care professions and use our subscription base to blast that information out.

Thanks to our subscribers who then disseminated the information further to their co-workers and business associates the information got out and probably helped someone somewhere.  We will continue to do this as long as necessary and here is what we have for you today.

Webinar Event:  Sustaining Profitability During the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Friday, April 10, 10 am Eastern Time, 9 am Central Time.  This webinar is sponsored by the NFDA and will feature Jay Dietz and Adam Sanden.  It will be moderated by Jessica Koth, NFDA Director of Public Relations.  PLEASE NOTE:  This webinar is open to NFDA members only.

    Hi Tom – I only found this website recently and didn’t even realise you had covered me – The Glam Reaper – honoured! This is great info – I have been trying to help my families and communities by sharing memorial tips and advice on how to still memorialise our loved ones even throughout this pandemic.
    My blog might be useful to some. Great to connect with you here. Keep up the writing <3

    Hello,

    The Foresight Companies started a resource page/blog 3 weeks ago to help funeral and cemetery owners with dealing and navigating business aspects related to the COVID pandemic. Specifically we have broken down the CARES ACT options and helped our clients and the industry navigate the application process. https://theforesightcompanies.com/category/blog/covid-19-business-resource-center/
