Your Participation Is Needed in New NFSP Survey

The Northeast Funeral Service Partnership is seeking the input of New Jersey funeral homes as part of its efforts to gather information concerning funeral trends in the five-state Northeast area.

The survey is conducted every two years, among the members of funeral directors associations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Past surveys have been used to start initiatives such as the Northeast Funeral Service Partnership Leadership Academy and the Certified Funeral Service Employer Course.

Both initiatives were undertaken to address the pressing needs of recruitment and retention of qualified funeral directors and the development of the next generation of leadership within funeral service, areas identified as key concerns among members of the partnership

A link to the survey was sent to all REG 1 members of the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association at approximately 10:00 a.m. Monday, January 13. The email came from the New York State Funeral Directors Association. It will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and contains questions about caseloads, the frequency of religious services, pricing and percentages of disposition types, among others. The survey also asks contributors to gauge the importance to their business of various funeral service issues.

If you need to complete the survey in more than one session, the template will save your responses. You must use the same device, however, to complete the survey. All responses are anonymous. Those who take the survey will be eligible to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards.

Participants have from Monday, January 13 to Friday, January 31, 2025 to complete the survey.
