Brookfield, Wis. – The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) is offering an early-bird registration discount to member funeral homes planning to participate in the 2012 Pursuit of Excellence program. Firms that register by February 29, 2012, will save nearly $25 on the participation fee.

For more than a quarter of a century, NFDA's Pursuit of Excellence program has recognized hundreds of funeral homes worldwide for maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards, and continually evaluating and improving programs and services.

Do you have a special relationship with your member of Congress or a member of his or her staff? Do you want to help your member of Congress better understand funeral directors, funeral service and small business issues? NFDA is looking for your help with its Key Contact program, a grassroots network of NFDA members that help foster relationships between the association and all 535 members of Congress.
