The WFDA's 144th Annual Convention was one for the books! Held at Lambeau Field June 9-11, 2025, we experienced three days of networking, continuing education, and summer fun in perhaps the most unique and cherished venue in the state of Wisconsin. Read our full event recap and see photos here: https://wfda.info/Annual-Convention-2025

We kicked off our Convention with our Leadership Development Foundation's Monday Night Party in Lambeau Field's Hall of Fame. We went on exclusive stadium tours that took us through the Gameday Suites, Roof Top Viewing Deck, Players' Tunnel, and Field Level. The evening carried on with a private party in the Hall of Fame complete with food, a bar hosted by Lakeshore Burial Vaults and Valor Technical Cleaning, prize raffles, and exclusive access to all the Packer's trophies and artifacts on display.

On Tuesday, we had a full day of conference sessions and our Service of Remembrance, which was officiated by Father Jim Baraniak, the former team Chaplain for the Green Bay Packers. He delivered a beautiful, simple, and heartfelt service - all while wearing his Super Bowl 45 ring. Then, Super Bowl ###I Champion and 2008 Hall of Fame Inductee Gilbert "The Gravedigger" Brown made a special appearance during our Sack the PAC fundraiser event on Tuesday Night! He stayed for photos, autographs, a Q&A, drinks, food, and fun!

Our Convention concluded on Wednesday with more conference sessions and our 25- and 50-Year Awards Ceremony. We honored our members who were licensed in 2000 and 1975. We also inducted our new 2025-2026 Board of Directors. Being inside historic Lambeau Field for the entire event made it all the more special and memorable.

The WFDA can't wait for our 145th Convention next year from June 8-10, 2026. See you all next year at Glacier Canyon Lodge in Wisconsin Dells!

Throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, our funeral directors networked with professional service providers across the funeral industry to learn more about innovations in the products and services available to us and our funeral homes. We reached the capacity of our exhibit space at Lambeau with 54 vendor...

Funeral directors, make your voices HEARD! 📣 Our members have direct access to the people who make legislative changes happen. Each year, our lobbying team listens to our funeral directors when forming our legislative agenda so we can fight hard for the policies that matter most to YOU!💪🏽

The WFDA lobbying team maintains close political connections in Madison. We have relentlessly defended policy initiatives that impact our profession and small businesses.🏛️

Recently, we strengthened ties with the DSPS to get licensing delays back on track and facilitated the passage of the SVRIS Bill, which mandates the use of the electronic system of vital records for medical certifications. 📝 We also give our funeral directors regular updates on advocacy progress so you know exactly how policy changes might impact your business.
