sent me this document below. Your funeral guy plans to wait on future developments before taking any more action. It is the document the IFDA sent to R.Brian Burkhardt originally from the NFDA.
Congressman Charlie Wilson (D-OH), an NFDA member, is sending the letter below to all his colleagues in the United States House of Representatives. All NFDA members are urged to go to Congress at a click and send your Representative the prewritten e-mail urging them to co-sponsor H. Res. 892 and support its passage.
Honor the Funeral Directors that Serve Your Communities Co-Sponsor H. Res. 892
Dear Colleague:
Recently, I introduced legislation that would demonstrate Congress’ support for National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. As a lifelong funeral director, I know first hand the important role that funerals play in helping bereaved families cope with the grief that follows the death of a loved one.
Behind every smoothly-run funeral is a great deal of difficult and often unglamorous work. Funeral directors are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and must be ready to collect the remains of a recently deceased person on a moment’s notice. This naturally takes a toll on the lives of their families, but by their commitment, funeral directors provide families with peace of mind and allow them to focus on the grieving process.
In addition to the service that they provide, funeral directors are taking a leading role in planning for potential disasters like a pandemic flu outbreak. Without planning, large numbers of infectious bodies could quickly overwhelm public health authorities’ capabilities and pose a serious threat to survivors. Funeral directors will be among the first Americans called upon to respond to such a disaster, if one arises, and for their sacrifices and bravery, they deserve our thanks.
With that in mind, I have introduced H. Res. 892, which recognizes March 11, 2008 as National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. This resolution honors the hard work and sacrifices made by funeral directors in every congressional district across the United States. To cosponsor this important legislation, please contact Dan Craig in my office at 202-225-5705 or dan.craig@mail.house.gov.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Charlie Wilson
Member of Congress
Now Congressman Charlie Wilson has requested A National Funeral Director and Morticians Day in the middle of a National Funeral Scandal (40 Million USD)concerning the IFDA.
The IFDA Continues to ask for their National Funeral Director’s Day in spite of their Scandal!
What were you thinking Congressman Wilson?
It appears that Congressmen and Funeral Directors need a little bit of education about preneed trusts. Maybe they need to purchase a few books at amazon.
