About FSAC — History of FSAC

The collective voice of funeral professionals has a long and proud tradition in Canada.

The early roots of the national association in Canada go back to 1921, when the Canadian National Funeral Directors Association was founded. National representation of funeral professionals was further strengthened in 1954, with the establishment of the "Funeral Directors Association of Canada".

Early objectives of the association were to promote the common interests of its members and to foster among them high professional ideals of public service; enlighten public opinion in relation to funeral service and to the need for enacting and enforcing proper, just and uniform laws pertaining to funeral directing and embalming in Canada.

In 1978, the national association was renamed the Funeral Service Association of Canada and evolved into a strong national association, with representation on its national board from all provincial funeral associations, and the national funeral supply association.
