Communities

Gathering at the Annual Meeting provides another opportunity for members of specific communities to meet, learn, share and build a network of connections based on specific interests.

FirstGen


Being a first-generation funeral home owner sets you apart from the traditional family-run firm. Selected recognizes your unique challenges and experiences relative to most multi-generational owners.

  • Please join us for lunch on Wednesday, October 11 for a lively discussion and a chance to connect with others in this rapidly growing community.

Thanks to the FirstGen Community Sponsor, Full-Circle Aftercare.


NextGen


Selected’s NextGen Community provides up-and-coming leaders the opportunity to share, inspire and motivate one another, while forging lifelong relationships with their counterparts throughout the world.

  • Please join us for lunch on Wednesday, October 11 to explore topics of interest and ideas for future NextGen Community activities.

Special thanks to the NextGen Community Sponsor, Kelco Supply.


Funeral Home + Cemetery Management


One of the unique segments of our membership are the firms who operate both a funeral home and a cemetery. Selected is proud to support current combo firms as well as our members considering the purchase or development of a cemetery.

  • Please join us for lunch on Thursday, October 12 that will include an engaging discussion with peers, bouncing ideas off each other and sharing experiences.


Women in Funeral Service


The percentage of women graduates from mortuary science school has now surpassed the males. Selected is honored to support the many women who are leading the profession in a variety of roles.

  • Please join us for lunch on Thursday, October 12, and the opportunity to engage in conversation about how we can expand offerings and support females in professional funeral service.

Special thanks to the Women in Funeral Service Community Sponsor, Your Funeral Coach.
