Hotel Reservations

Deadline: August 17, 2012

Members can use the special Westin StarGroups website to book or modify a reservation for the 2012 Annual Meeting.  You also may contact the The Westin Copley Place directly at 617-262-9600 or through the Central Reservations office (Continental U.S. and Canada) at 1-800-228-3000. Be sure to indicate you are with "Selected Independent Funeral Homes Annual Meeting" to receive our specially negotiated rate of $269.00 per night.

Rooms are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Once our block is filled, which may be before the deadline, we cannot guarantee room availability, so members are encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible. In addition, Selected's negotiated rate is available three days before and after the meeting dates on a room availability basis (as determined by the hotel) so, again, making room reservations as soon as possible will offer the best chance at availability.
