The NFDA Service of Remembrance, celebrating the lives of funeral service professionals who died during the past year, will be held on Monday, October 26 during the 2026 NFDA International Convention & Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina.

If there is an NFDA member, employee of a member firm, immediate family member of a member or retired member who died during the last year whom you would like to have recognized during the service and included in the printed program, please submit their name using our simple online form.

If we receive a decedent’s name from multiple states, the name will be listed under the state in which they last resided.

Names must be submitted by Wednesday, July 1, to be included in the 2026 Service of Remembrance. Names received after this date will be recognized in the 2027 service.

Thank you for helping us ensure your colleagues and loved ones are remembered.
