Welcome
6–7 November 2026 | Christchurch
For the first time, the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand and the New Zealand Embalmers Association are coming together for a shared weekend of professional development, networking, recognition and celebration.
Across two inspiring days, you'll have the opportunity to connect with colleagues from throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, gain valuable business and professional insights, celebrate excellence within our professions, and strengthen the relationships that help shape the future of funeral service.
Whether you're attending the Welcome Networking Function, the AGM & Business Insights Day, the New Zealand Embalmers Association Professional Seminar, the inaugural joint Two Professions. One Evening of Excellence Awards Dinner, or the entire weekend, this is a unique opportunity to be part of a historic event for our profession.
From recognising outstanding achievements and celebrating our newest Diploma graduates, to honouring long-serving members and sharing ideas for the future, this weekend promises to be one of the most memorable events on our calendar.
We look forward to welcoming you to Christchurch this November.
