Disaster Planning
Funeral directors play an important role in the event of a mass-fatality, such as a pandemic flu, a natural disaster or other catastrophic event. Families and communities count on you to provide the same high level of care and compassion for families during such a challenging time as they do today. Your funeral home and staff should be prepared to serve families and your community during mass-fatality situations.Funeral Home Emergency Actions Plans
