Our History

From the Beginning

For over 85 years, PFDI has been an exclusive, invitation-only professional organization for leaders in the death care industry.

Originally established in 1937 as the Advertising Funeral Directors of America, PFDI was the first marketing-oriented professional association of its kind.

For over 85 years, PFDI has been committed to stimulating and sharing marketing and management innovation in the same high-quality standards that its exclusive members provide in funeral service.
