Information Sharing
We inform our members constantly in a variety of ways, including our first-rate monthly newsletter and a fully functional website (www.nysfda.org) that provide members with exclusive information and consumers with the names and service areas of our member firms. We also operate a high-speed alert broadcast fax system to keep our members “in the loop” on the latest happenings requiring their immediate attention.

NYSFDA’s Public/Media Relations Program presents a positive image of funeral service to the media and consumers and responds immediately to any questionable media stories. We produce news releases with information about NYSFDA activities, programs and issues that are placed directly in the hands of newspaper, radio, television, cable and website reporters.

Since 2006, we generated articles that appeared in newspapers with a combined circulation of more than 5,621,209 and secured numerous radio and television interviews for our member spokespersons. NYSFDA also issues “Transitions,”a consumer information column by our executive director, Bonnie McCullough, that regularly appears in newspapers, senior publications and on selected websites.

In addition, our members have a strong commitment to service. NYSFDA is proud that they stepped forward to provide important and timely information to the families of the World Trade Center disaster’s victims, as well as facilitated final disposition operations in the Flight 800 (Long Island) and Flight 587 (Queens) airline crashes.
