PM3341 SPRINGFIELD,MO— Fountain National Academy (FNA) is excited to announce the return of this unique event. FNA sponsors and produces the only international conference specifically designed for the professional embalmer. This conference will take place July 28-31, 2022. Previous conferences have attracted embalmers from 10 countries and 26 states. Founder Vernie Fountain handpicks top-notch speakers from the United States and abroad to deliver highly specialized, technical presentations. The conference, themed “Dedicated to the Value of Open Casket Viewing” focuses on teaching the embalmer how to restore trauma cases from the most minor to the most extreme. This extraordinary event was born out of an enthusiasm among embalmers for specialized education and networking opportunities. After reviewing overwhelmingly positive evaluations at the first conference in 2010, Fountain decided to make the conference a biennial event with the most recent being the fifth conference to be held in Springfield, MO in 2018. Global events necessitated a postponement of the conference in 2020 but we are happy to fiNEWS Educational CONTINUED FNA announces Sixth Biennial Embalming & Reconstructive Surgery Conference nally move forward with the sixth event. The 2022 conference will continue to focus on the psychological values associated with viewing, and visitations of the body for the family and friends. Each conference Distinguished Guests of Honor are chosen for their skill, professionalism, contributions and ongoing commitment to the embalming profession. In 2010 Vernie R. Fountain also decided that embalmers often do not receive the recognition they deserve. He commissioned the FNA Distinguished Professional Service medallion to be made. It represents the Highest Honor the FNA can bestow upon anyone. Since the first international conference it has become a coveted award and prior to each FNA International Embalming and Reconstructive Surgery Conference for Professional Embalmers, one or more licensed embalmer recipients are carefully and secretly selected. Receiving the award is a surprise and presentations are made at a ceremony during the conference.
