Founded in 1905 as The British Undertakers’ Association, The National Association of Funeral Directors, as it has been known since 1935, is one of a number of organizations that has appeared over the last three hundred years to represent those responsible for managing the disposal of the dead.

​

The first such institution The Upholders Company emerged in the early eighteenth century and was closely followed by The United Company of Undertakers. However, the need for a national organization became apparent during the nineteenth century. This history traces the events leading up to the founding of the British Undertakers’ Association.

​

The NAFD is the country’s leading funeral trade association and its members, who are required to comply with a strict Code of Practice, conduct four out of every five funerals in the UK.
