  Brookfield, Wis.  – On October 14, 2008, Roland Funeral Service of Atlantic, IA., was honored with the 2008 Pursuit of Excellence Award by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA). Only 168 funeral homes, nationwide and abroad, received this prestigious recognition, placing Roland Funeral Service in an elite group of funeral service professionals.
 

In order to receive NFDA’s Pursuit of Excellence recognition, funeral homes must demonstrate proficiency in all facets of funeral service. Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients must fulfill strict quality service criteria that exemplify commitment to: Ethical practices and regulatory compliance; ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff; outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; community involvement through participation in volunteer opportunities and sponsorships; professional association participation; and community outreach through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs.

“The Pursuit of Excellence Award Program proves that funeral service excellence is not limited by geographical boundaries,” said NFDA Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper, CAE.    “These award-winning firms, no matter their size or location, are dedicated to improving the face of funeral service by going above and beyond the expectations of the families and communities they serve.”
