Pursuit of Excellence Award
Engelkes-Abels Funeral Home and Doyen-Abels Funeral Home
are both proud
recipients of the National Funeral Director’s Pursuit
of Excellence
Award
The Pursuit of Excellence is NFDA's premier program for
honoring
excellence and unshakable ethical standards in funeral service.
Recipient firms are provided high-profile, national recognition
for
their outstanding service, professional integrity and dynamic
public
relations programs. The funeral homes were awarded at the
annual
National Funeral Director’s Association Pursuit of
Excellence Awards
during the NFDA Convention and Expo.
“The Pursuit of Excellence program is the premier
standard for
funeral service excellence. Funeral homes that achieve this
special
recognition are raising the bar when it comes to community
involvement
and providing families with quality care,” said NFDA
Chief Executive
Officer, Christine Pepper.
To achieve recognition in the Pursuit of Excellence Program,
a funeral
home must meet at least 31 criteria in nine categories of
achievement.
The categories include: education, compassionate service,
technical
skills, community and professional service, library or media
resources, professional development, in-house staff training,
and
public and community relations.
Engelkes-Abels was only one of four firms in Iowa to receive
the award.
