WHEELING,IL— Location may not be ev-
erything, but it will be a major draw as in-
dustry professionals gather in New York
City for the Cremation Association of
North America’s (CANA’s) 99th Annu-
al Cremation Innovation Convention.
The CANA Convention will be held Au-
gust 16-18 at the Grand Hyatt New York.
With a wide range of valuable networking
and educational opportunities, the event
will feature business-building sessions as
well as practical information on best prac-
tices in cremation. Attendees will have the
opportunity to catch a Mets vs. Marlins
baseball game at Citi Field and enjoy the
history and architecture on display as they
tour The Woodlawn Cemetery. CANA
will also offer a pre-convention Crema-
tory Operations Certification Program™
(COCP™) on August 16.
Exhibits and Sessions Together in One
Room
CANA’s convention includes a diverse
range of suppliers—from vault, casket,
cremator, urn and keepsake manufactur-
ers to vendors who provide banking, ar-
chitectural, technology, and office servic-
es—making this a unique opportunity for
all involved. The exhibits are in the same
room as the general sessions so that dis-
plays and demonstrations of products and
services are shared with all event partici-
pants.
Program schedule and registration in-
formation regarding CANA’s 99th An-
nual Cremation Innovation Conven-
tion is available by visiting http://www.
or calling 312-
245-1077. A video preview of the con-
vention is available here: https://youtu.
be/z0KVJ11ga24.
Founded in 1913, the Cremation Asso-
ciation of North America (CANA) is an
international organization of over 3,300
members, composed of funeral homes,
cemeteries, crematories, industry suppliers,
and consultants. CANA members believe
that cremation is preparation for memori-
alization.
