    Save the Date for NFDA Advocacy Summit

    April 21-23, 2027


    NFDA is the only funeral service association that has a full-time lobbyist advocating on behalf of the profession in D.C, and we work hard every day to tell your story to members of Congress, regulators and others in power in our nation’s capitol, but there’s no greater impact than when you speak out and share your story.

    Members of Congress want to hear from their constituents and when you join NFDA and your fellow members in speaking out on behalf of the profession, our combined voices become a mighty force for good.

    The Advocacy Summit is what democracy is all about. This is your voice making a difference.
