It’s time to celebrate Family History Month & Have the Talk of a Lifetime Month!
October is National Family History Month. Funeral service professionals, community groups, historians, storytellers, and genealogical and historical societies promote and celebrate National Family History Month as way to commemorate each family’s rich and deep history. November is Time for Family, Time for Talk. As family and friends gather for the holidays, it's the perfect time to find out what matters most to the people who matter most to you. The information you discover will lead to more meaningful memorializations when the time comes.
There are many dates in October and November that make it the ideal time to Have the Talk. Here are a few below.
Members of the Funeral and Memorial Information Council (FAMIC) invite you to celebrate with them during their local events throughout October and November. Search for what’s happening near you and download our free Holiday Guide today. It’s time to start talking!
