Funeral
service is an honorable and vital profession that provides
an essential service under extremely difficult circumstances.
Families rely on funeral directors for support during
times of emotional distress, as well as for advice and
expertise. In fact, according to a recent Gallop Poll
of consumers, funeral directors are ranked among the
top ten most trusted professionals.
The NYS Tribute Foundation has
established a number of professional and continuing
education scholarships. The Foundation strives to increase
the number of new funeral service professionals by providing
educational scholarships to current and future funeral
service professionals by encouraging existing licensed
funeral directors to return to funeral service; encouraging
funeral service as a second career; and providing financial
scholarships as appropriate.
