History Repeats itself... time and time again

Continually the Funeral Directors Convention and Expo offers attendees the opportunities to learn from nationally recognized speakers on current topics relevent to funeral directors. Our highly sought-after educators often present to standing-room-only crowds. And, just like last year, this year's attendees were be able to earn up to 10 CEUs in just three days!

Each session ran for 60 minutes, with the exception of NY Preneed Funeral Law which ran for 2 hours. All presentations have been accredited by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice (APFSP) and the appropriate licensing authorities in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, unless noted otherwise. Presentations approved by the APFSP are recognized by the licensing authorities in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island.

Licensees in states not listed above should contact their boards for individual CEU approval, if applicable. Proof of attendance will be mailed within 30 days following the close of convention.
