What distinguishes the National Selected Morticians organization?

The National Selected Morticians organization, commonly known as the "Selected," is distinguished by its focus on promoting high standards of funeral service among its members. It is a professional organization that fosters a sense of community among its members, primarily independent funeral service providers, and does not impose significant geographic restrictions on membership.

By emphasizing quality and ethical practices, the Selected enhances the professionalism and standards within the industry, which can include members from various regions rather than having a limited membership based strictly on location. This broad approach contrasts with some other organizations that may have specific demographic or geographic boundaries.

This differentiates the Selected from organizations that represent specific demographic groups, such as those dedicated to African American or Jewish funeral practices. Rather, the Selected focuses on the profession as a whole, aiming to elevate the funeral service industry through collective efforts and standards. The significance of membership is tied to professional integrity and service quality rather than geographical limitations.
