Educate the public about funeral service and provide the families you serve with meaningful information about embalming, planning a funeral, tragic death, grief and more.
Many families choose to bypass a funeral or memorial service because of the stigma associated with tragic death. Public service announcements (PSAs) developed by NFDA through a grant from the Funeral Service Foundation encourage families to memorialize their loved ones, regardless of how they died. PSAs are featured on RememberingALife.com social media channels. We encourage you to share them on your own social media accounts. Contact us regarding how to use them with your families, on your website or in your community outreach materials.
