Overseas membership (Category C) is open to funeral directors, ancillary businesses and allied professional associations that operate outside the United Kingdom.

As one of the world’s leading trade bodies for the funeral profession, the NAFD is proud of the links it has established with not only representative bodies in other nations around the globe, but the connections it has built between UK and international funeral firms, enabling them to support each other in caring for deceased and bereaved people.

  • The business applying for membership must have been open and trading – under its current ownership – for a minimum of six months.
  • The applicant must provide contact details of a minimum of two separate business referees, preferably funeral firms, indicating a proven track record of supplying those businesses for a minimum period of six months. The Association will contact these companies to seek a reference.
