Overview
Mission
The mission of the nhfa is to preserve the innate rights of families and communities to care for their own dead in a personal, respectful and an environmentally sound manner. It does so by creating and sustaining a network of ethical, responsible and knowledgeable home funeral guides, whose primary focus is to educate and empower family members to shape and direct the after death care of their loved one, as supported by state law.
What it reported doing in 2024
The nhfa recommends standards of practice that inform its members' personal conduct and provide clear direction in correct and ethical behavior for home funeral guides in service to those choosing family-directed funerals. It does this work by conducting educational conferences for its members and publishing informative home funeral guides for the general public.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 70% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
