DISTRICT MEETINGS

GFDA District meetings are always a great opportunity to renew friendships, enjoy a meal together, and learn about current funeral profession topics. We are excited to announce that our 2025 District Meetings will be held this November in all six districts from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. 

Our featured programs will be “OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens, Hazard Communication, & Updates” presented by Brad Kuchnicki, Executive Director with The Independent Funeral Group and "The Disconnect Dilemma: A New Playbook for Cremation" presented by Christi Moon Robbins, Marketing and Member Relations with The Independent Funeral Group. These engaging workshops will offer a morning session and afternoon session for a total of four (4) hours of continuing education credit, along with a dedicated lunch break for connecting with suppliers and colleagues. Learn more about our programs by opening the printable flyer.

During the District meetings, GFDA will be offering a 5% discount on our 2026 membership dues.
