Leaders in the funeral service profession…
Formerly established as the Advertising Funeral Directors of America in 1937, PFDI was the first marketing-oriented professional association of its kind. For over 65 years, PFDI has been committed to stimulating and sharing marketing and management innovation in the quality of funeral service its exclusive members provide.
One of the most valuable and rewarding aspects of PFDI is the open exchange of ideas and the long-lasting friendships that develop. There are two regular meetings of the association held in the spring and fall of each year at some of the most popular vacation cities.
