The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA)
The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), founded in 1882, is the largest funeral service organization in the world. It is governed by a nine-member Executive Board, a Policy Board made up of representatives from every state, and a House of Delegates. The number of delegates is based on the number of members in a state. NFDAґs headquarters, staffed by approximately 40 employees, is in Brookfield, Wisconsin. In 1997, NFDA added a government relations office in Washington, DC, to handle legislative and regulatory issues for its members.

Order of the Golden Rule
The International Order of the Golden Rule (OGR) is an association of independently owned and operated funeral homes with approximately 1200 members throughout North America and overseas whose credo is, "Service measured not by gold but by the Golden Rule." Founded in 1928, OGR is committed to helping independent funeral homes stay independent so funeral directors can focus on what is truly important... the FAMILY. http:// www.ogr.org/
