Federal Agencies and Information
NFDA's Advocacy Division is actively working with a number of federal agenices and offices to provide funeral directors with quick and easy access to information and resources that can help them serve families. Be sure to check this page regularly, as more will be added.
- Office of Justice Programs (OJP) - Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)
- Dept. of Health and Human Services—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Radiation Emergency Information for the Public Health Community
- Guidelines for Handling Decedents Contaminated with Radioactive Materials
(These guidelines address how medical examiners, coroners, and funeral directors should handle decedents in both of these scenarios. NFDA Past President R. Doggett Whitaker assisted with the development of these guidelines. If you would like to request a free hard copy of these guidelines, please call NFDA at 800-228-6332.)
