Schrader-Howell Funeral Home is proud to have received the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) Pursuit of Excellence Eagle award in 2003, 2004, and 2005. This mark of excellence honors firms for their outstanding community service, professional integrity and dynamic public relations programs.
"The Pursuit of Excellence program is the premier standard for funeral service excellence. Funeral homes that achieve this special recognition are raising the bar when it comes to community involvement and providing families with quality care," said NFDA Chief Executive Officer, Christine Pepper.
To achieve recognition in the Pursuit of Excellence program, a funeral home must meet quality service criteria in nine categories of achievement. The categories include: education, compassionate service, technical skills, community and professional service, library or media resources, professional development, in-house staff training, and public and community relations.
NFDA is the leading funeral service association, serving more than 20,300 funeral directors who represent more than 12,200 funeral homes in the United States and other countries. From its headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and its Advocacy Office in Washington D.C., NFDA provides advocacy, education, information, products, programs and services to help members enhance the quality of service to families.
