About the NFDMA

The National Funeral Directors and Morticians Association, Inc. has a rich history that spans across a century. Originally organized in 1924 as the Independent National Funeral Directors Association, under the leadership of R. R. Reed, it was established by a group of licensed funeral directors who aimed to maintain high professional standards for the betterment of the public and their own business community. While they had initially collaborated with the National Business League, it became evident that their full potential could only be realized through an association solely focused on the funeral industry.
