Since 1881, the Ohio Funeral Directors Association (OFDA) has provided innovative programs, leadership, and excellent service to its membership.
As one of the largest state associations for funeral directors in the nation, OFDA has become a conduit for promoting the funeral profession and leading the field in education standards.
Fellow members need your help in answering critical questions. As an exclusive service to members, the OFDA's Q&A page allows you to share common questions and maybe not-so-common answers. You can even share your stories of unique and/or interesting services that you have provided. Maybe your story will answer someone's question before they even ask it!
The Buckeye Director is a great resource for news, tools, and Ohio’s funeral profession accomplishments. Reach out to OFDA to share your accomplishments and the different ways your funeral home gives back to your community!
As one of the largest state associations for funeral directors in the nation, OFDA has become a conduit for promoting the funeral profession and a vital link to having a voice in the legislative process.
