Section 2. The purpose of the Funeral Ethics Association is to provide the public and the profession with a balanced forum for resolving misunderstandings and to elevate the importance of ethical practices in all matters related to funeral service.

Through continuing education of funeral directors and clear presentations to the public, convey information essential to the public's understanding of funerals, funeral options, funeral prearrangements, prefinanced funerals and the ethical purposes of the funeral profession.
