Our 2025 Funeral Service Appreciation Night was a tremendous success last night, even with its last-minute relocation, including the installation of Stephen Gemelli as the Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association's 2025-2026 president, and of our executive committee and board of directors. We also celebrated milestone anniversaries for licensure anniversaries (including one for 65 years), business anniversaries (including one for 200 years), and other special recognitions. Stay tuned as we will be sharing individual honors in the next few weeks. Thanks to all of those who attended and for making it a special night for our Massachusetts funeral service community.

The awards are all lined up and ready to be presented @ the MFDA 2025 Funeral Service Appreciation Night in Newton!
