organizer of the National
Negro Funeral Directors
Association, visited the State
of Georgia with the idea of
organizing the Negro funeral
homes of Georgia into a state
association.
The Georgia
Association, which was
founded in 1926, comprised
of licensed Funeral Directors
and Embalmers throughout
the state.
Georgia is, therefore,
one of the charter members
of the present National
Association (specifically,
National Funeral Directors
and Mortician Association).
The original name of
the Association was The
Georgia Colored Funeral
Directors and Embalmers
Association.
In 1939, the name was
changed to the present name.
The Georgia Funeral Service
Practitioners Association.
The Association was
incorporated in July 1959 as
a non-profit corporation.
There are nine districts in the
state of Georgia. The First
District, the host of the 84th
Annual State Convention is
comprised of funeral homes
and funeral professionals in
Burke, Bulloch, Candler,
Chatham, Effingham,
Emanuel, Evans, Jenkins,
Liberty, Screven and Toombs
counties.
Officers of the First
District Georgia Funeral
Service Practitioners, Inc.
are E. Bruce Adams,
Chairman; Y’Lonne Hodges,
Vice Chairman; Jarvis
Barnes, Secretary; and A1
Mullice, Treasurer.
