Ford & Sons Funeral Home has been honored by National Selected Morticians (NSM).
The NSM, observing its 75th anniversary, recognizes members for strict adherence to the organization's Code of Good Funeral Practice.
"The Code includes 11 standards that ensure every family complete information, attentive response to their needs and comfortable facilities," said NSM executive director Fred Bates. "Membership in National Selected Morticians is by invitation only."
Fords & Sons Funeral Home was invited into membership in 1962.
"The NSM recognizes the tradition of professional service by Ford & Sons," said Bates. "The firm has an established reputation for superior funeral service."
The NSM is an international association of more than 950 independent funeral services firms world-wide.
