Dengel & Son Receives Prestigious Emeritus Award from the National Funeral Directors Association

         Dengel & Son Mortuary, Ottawa, Kansas, has received the 2005 National Funeral Directors Association (N.F.D.A.) Pursuit of Excellence Emeritus award for outstanding community service, consumer relations and professional educational programs. The Emeritus award is one of the highest levels of achievement in the Pursuit of Excellence (POE) program. N.F.D.A. has recognized Dengel & Son for six consecutive years.

“Pursuit of Excellence funeral homes provide innovative and compassionate care to families they serve,” said N.F.D.A. Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper, CAE. “Through their commitment to their communities and the highest professional standards, these funeral homes are raising the bar for all funeral services providers in the country.”

Achieving recognition in the Pursuit of Excellence program is a rigorous process. A funeral home must meet strict quality service criteria in nine categories of achievement. The categories include: mandatory compliance, education, compassionate service, technical skills, community and professional service, library or media resources, professional development, in-house staff training, and public and community relations.  To earn the status of Emeritus a funeral home must previously achieve a Golden Eagle, and 3 prior Eagle awards.

              "We are pleased to announce this award to the community because it is a symbol of the mission that the Dengel & Son Mortuary has aspired to meet since 1944. Dengel & Son will be of service to families before, during, and after the time a family needs funeral assistance. It is our goal to enrich our surrounding community through providing the highest quality of service in their time of need and also by becoming a community resource in the area of death and dying”, said Craig Dengel, owner of Dengel & Son Mortuary. “By participating in the Pursuit of Excellence program, Dengel and Son Mortuary is able to build the skills necessary that are required to provide Franklin County with the very best in funeral service.  It took a lot of hard work by the entire staff to achieve this award, and I am proud of their efforts.” Craig added.            

 N.F.D.A. is the world’s largest funeral service organization, representing approximately 12,200 funeral directors and is headquartered in Brookfield, WI
