Funeral Home Owner and Funeral Home Director on WFDA.ORG

Two Different Roles Require Different Logins

This week’s column examines a topic that can be confusing for members as they transition to the online community. As our members know, The Wisconsin Funeral Directors Association is actually an association of funeral homes primarily, with their employee funeral directors secondarily. The online community, WFDA.ORG, reflects that distinction through the use of two different member types, the Funeral Home and the Funeral Director. Although it may not be obvious to the individual online community member, these member types serve a very important purpose, separating the needs and data of the funeral home from that of the funeral director.

For example, a funeral home owner will be concerned about membership renewal, their participation in the WI Funeral Trust and future capabilities relating to the sale and management of the Requia Life insurance products. On the other hand, funeral directors are concerned about managing their professional development, looking for new career opportunities, and connecting socially with each other.

Who logs in as a funeral home?

The funeral home owner or their point of contact logs in as the funeral home.

Why would I want to log in as a funeral home?

If you want to post job openings, renew your funeral home’s membership in the association, or check on your funeral home’s WI Funeral Trust information.

Who logs in as a funeral director?

Anyone who is a licensed funeral director and employee or owner of a WFDA member funeral home.

Why would I want to log in as a funeral director?

If you want to sign up for a WFDA event like convention, sign-up and pay for online CEs, manage your CEs, post your resume, post pictures from the last WFDA event you participated in, connect with friends from the association and more.

How do I login as a funeral home or funeral director?

Login is the same, the important thing to remember is your username and password. If you are a funeral home owner, you will have two different usernames and passwords, one for your role as a funeral home owner and the other as a person who is a funeral director. If you are a funeral home employee and a funeral director, but not an owner, you will only need to manage one username and password.
