To earn an NFDA Pursuit of Excellence Award, a participating funeral home must exceed business standards set forth by the program and demonstrate proficiency in key areas of funeral service, such as compliance with state and federal regulations; providing ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff; offering outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; maintaining an active level of involvement within the community; participating and actively serving in the funeral service profession; and promoting funeral home services through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs.  Participants are also required to adhere to a Pledge of Ethical Practices.

“I believe that being awarded the Pursuit of Excellence reflects our ongoing dedication to the community and to the families we serve. This recognition can help to assure grieving families that they will receive the highest quality care from the moment they walk through our front door,” said Kathy Titus, owner of the funeral home.  “Titus Funeral Home has always been a trusted provider of funeral services here in Kosciusko County and it is an honor to be recognized for the quality and compassion of our care.”
