Sullivan-Utica recognized for excellence by NFDA
Our Utica facility has been honored by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) with the 2019 Pursuit of Excellence Award. We’ve received this honor every year since 2004.
Sullivan is one of 160 firms from around the world receiving this recognition. To earn an NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Award a participating funeral home must meet or exceed business standards set forth by the program and demonstrate proficiency in key areas of funeral service, such as compliance with state and federal regulations; providing ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff; offering outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; maintaining an active level of involvement within the community; participating and actively serving in the funeral service profession, and promoting funeral home services through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs. Participants are also required to adhere to a Pledge of Ethical Practices.
“Sullivan’s voluntary participation in the Pursuit of Excellence Award program reflects a clear determination to exceed the expectations of those they serve,” said NFDA Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper, CAE. “This prestigious recognition assures families of the high-quality, compassionate service they will receive the moment they walk through the funeral home’s front door.”
