The Director.edu

The premier quarterly publication for funeral service students

Welcome to the source for news and information designed to prepare you, the funeral service student, for your transition from schooling and internship to becoming a valued contributor to the field of funeral service.

This quarterly e-newsletter gives you the lead on topics and ideas (plus practical material outside of the textbooks!) from a variety of meaningful sources that will help you work toward a meaningful career in funeral service.

Meet the Contributors

The Director.edu develops meaningful content in partnership with variety of trusted sources, including:

  • Edward Defort, NFDA editor in chief, The Director magazine, Memorial Business Journal
  • Mike Nicodemus, NFDA vice president of cremation services
  • Other NFDA field experts, as applicable
  • Current & Past NFDA Board of Directors Members
  • Previous Meet the Mentors conference participants
  • Funeral service experts, program chairs and teachers
  • And others!

Previous participants of NFDA's Meet the Mentors program bring a valuable perspective to students as “young, new” funeral professionals who have had the opportunity to engage with mentors and peers in this exclusive experience.
