Why Use NFDA Members?

Established in 1995, the NFDA is a nation-wide network of Funeral Directors who strive to provide quality service to their client families and their communities, with an emphasis on the personal care traditionally associated with the funeral industry, whilst embracing the community's desire to allow funerals to evolve to meet the needs of their client families.

Member firms must be 100% Australian owned and are all family owned and operated.  They are required to adhere to a strict Code of Ethics, whilst providing facilities which comply with the association's 'Minimum Standards' requirements.

NFDA members strive to provide the very best of care and are at your service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

NFDA members also subscribe to a "Members Code of Practice" outlining the member's commitment to all those they serve and have dealings with. Download "Members Code of Practice".
