The Newest Publication for Funeral Service: MBJ
November 24, 2009
The Memorial Business Journal, that is. It’s a weekly resource for funeral directors, cemeterians and cremationists. The editor is Edward J.

Back from FAMIC, and Wonderful Austin
November 9, 2009
I’ve got to tell you, Austin is a great city! I was so impressed by what I was able to see during my stay there last week. We were “smack downtown,” next to the convention center – which is slated to be the venue for the NFDA convention in 2013.
