On the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, join us as we remember the victims, in addition to the families and survivors whose lives were forever changed. John LaBarbera, Battalion Commander, FDNY (Ret.) will inspire us to reflect on the events of that day and honor the memories of all who died. We’ll also pay tribute to our funeral service family members who died during the past year. (Spanish translation available.)

Join us for the Funeral Face-Off Championship on September 13th where the winning team will be determined during the NFDA's International Convention and Expo in Las Vegas.  Prizes include cash, free registration to future NFDA events and conferences, and the coveted "Precoa Cup".

 In August ,14 three-person teams, comprised of funeral directors from all over the country, began competing in this funeral trivia event online. Eight teams will battle it out in head-to-head competition in front of convention attendees. 

The questions, provided by American Board of Funeral Service Education faculty, cover much of the content taught to current mortuary science students...as well as some funeral pop culture sprinkled in just for fun.  In the first two rounds, contestants had to earn as many total points as possible for their team score.  

If you want to find out who wins the “Precoa Cup” be sure to watch the championship round on Wednesday, September 13th prior to the closing general session.
