The Beach is Calling

The King and Prince is the perfect location to spend time with your family, friends, and colleagues. During the course of our Convention attendees will participate in programs offering 8 Continuing Education hours from world-class speakers, each with timely and pertinent information for funeral service professionals. Our funeral service suppliers will be exhibiting with the latest products and services for your funeral home.  You will have time each afternoon to relax, unwind, and enjoy all St Simons Island has to offer before enjoying our evening festivities.
