2024 IFDF Annual Conference



2024 IFDF Annual Conference & Trade Show Sponsored by Argent Trust Registration Link



2024 Annual Conference Theme:


"Prioritizing Mindfulness and Wellness for Funeral Professionals" 

We hope that you leave with skills to help you self-regulate the compassion fatigue and quite possibly the trauma of dealing with COVID-19 as well as the over-arching stress of being committed to caring for the community at all hours of the day throughout the year.  Taking time for yourself and giving yourself grace take practice, and we are here to give you the tools to be your best authentic self, so that you can better serve your families.

We built in MORE planned time for relaxing, spending time with family and friends, and simply enjoying being AWAY.


We are also offering exciting social activities, such as:

  • Brunch & Breath to teach you the fundamentals of mindfulness.
  • Annual Golf Tournament sponsored by Federated Insurance for a day of sun, swings, and sea breezes on the famed “The Pebble of the East” golf course.
  • The President’s Welcome Yacht Rock Party for all smooth sailors, diving into the smooth vibes of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.
  • Margaritaville Remembrance Mixer, celebrating the life of Jimmy Buffet.
  • 2nd Annual Death Pop Trivia with the queen of death care, Monica Torres, as the special guest master of ceremonies.
  • 2nd Annual Student Social Mixer to cap off “Student Day,” a free day at the conference for all area mortuary students.
  • Date Night at the prestigious, 4-diamond designation Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa, plan ahead to enjoy the venue’s offerings of fun and relaxation.
  • Family fun activities are plentiful!
