Congressman Bobby Rush the man who introduced the Bereaved Consumers Bill of Rights Act will speak to the Funeral Lobby in Early March of 2009.
Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., who introduced the “Bereaved Consumer’s Bill of Rights Act of 2009″ (H.R. 3655) in the U.S. House of Representatives, will address attendees during the 2010 NFDA Advocacy Summit, March 8-10 in Washington, D.C. This NFDA-supported bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to initiate a separate rule that would cover cemeteries and all other sellers of funeral or burial goods or services.
Members of the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) and the National Funeral Directors & Morticians Association (NFD&MA) will join NFDA members on Capitol Hill during the Advocacy Summit to fight for issues, such as the “Rush Bill,” that directly affect your bottom line and the service you provide to families.via www.facebook.com
