GRADUATES
Graduates who have completed the New Zealand Diploma in Funeral Directing from October 2025 onwards will receive a special invitation to attend the Awards Dinner, where their outstanding achievement will be formally recognised. During the evening, graduates will be presented with their Registered Funeral Director Certificate and Practising Certificate from the Funeral Directors Association and will have the opportunity to celebrate this important professional milestone with their peers.
LONG SERVICE
The evening will also recognise long-standing members through the Funeral Directors Association Long Service Awards.
In accordance with the Long Service Policy, recognition at the Awards Dinner is awarded for 25 years of service, followed by 5-year increments (30, 35, 40 years and so on). If you or a member of your team has reached one of these milestones, we encourage you to submit an application.
Please complete the Long Service Application Form and email it to linda@funeraldirectors.co.nz by 7 October 2026.
