Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor all who answered the call to serve.

We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, and the last responders, including funeral directors and funeral service professionals, who cared for the fallen and their families with dignity and compassion.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Compassion doesn't take a holiday. To all the funeral directors and deathcare professionals supporting families this Labor Day weekend, we thank you. Your work is a 24/7/365 commitment, and your community appreciates your readiness to answer the call.

What a great week at the NFD&MA Convention!

From the Opening Ceremony to packing up the APFSP booth, it was wonderful connecting with new members, welcoming new CFSPs, reconnecting with longtime friends, and helping former members find their way back to the Academy. Thank you to everyone who stopped by as we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the CFSP designation!

Thank you to our APFSP Board members for all they do, and congratulations to the incoming NFD&MA leadership, who will be installed later today. We wish you all the best in the year ahead!

We're grateful for the friendships, the conversations, and this incredible profession. See you in Texas in 2027! 🤠

Today, we celebrate 250 years of American freedom and the enduring ideals that continue to unite us.

As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors this Independence Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision of those who helped shape our nation's history—and those who continue to serve our communities today.

From all of us at the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July!
