We Are Selected

Selected Independent Funeral Homes was originally founded in 1917 as National Selected Morticians when a group of forward-thinking funeral professionals met to discuss a shared vision of cooperation to advance independent funeral service. Today, Selected serves as a key resource supporting all aspects of the independent funeral profession.

Membership in Selected is by invitation only and is extended to worthy funeral homes after careful evaluation of their character, professional ability and reputation. Guided by our Code of Good Practice and the benefit of shared knowledge, Selected Members are professionals of the highest standards, providing families, individuals and communities with care, guidance, clear information and a range of choices in creating a meaningful tribute after the death of a loved one.

Selected Membership delivers many distinct advantages and benefits to independent firms and the professionals who work for them. Selected supports and strengthens the best independent firms around the globe, and we empower our Members to achieve their goals by creating business tools, developing education and connecting members to better one other.
