Message from the 2024 Convention Chair

The California Funeral Directors Association is thrilled to invite you to attend our 119th Annual Convention!

To mark this momentous convention, our theme is “A Modern Twist on a Timeless Tradition”, reflecting on our commitment to embracing innovation while honoring the rich heritage of our profession. We believe the funeral industry can evolve and adapt without compromising the values and traditions that make it so special.

As always, our focus is your professional development. We have curated an exceptional lineup of speakers on topics that will inspire, and exhibitors that will showcase products and services that are sure to excite. We invite you to leave your business attire at home and instead, dress to impress for a resort getaway! Our networking events will embrace a relaxed atmosphere to foster new connections and allow you to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, with a few twists here and there.

Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned professional, you will not want to miss this chance to recharge, reflect and relax with us at our 119th convention. Together we will infuse modern spirit into our cherished tradition.

See you in Rancho Mirage!

Kimberly Worl, Chair

Rancho Las Palmas: Your Destination for CFDA’s 2024 Annual Convention

Set amid a mountainous backdrop surrounded by palms, Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa is an idyllic resort in Palm Springs — a setting for countless activities and memorable moments in the Coachella Valley. Guest rooms and suites at our Palm Springs resort are bright and welcoming, thoughtfully inspired by Spanish Colonial design with French doors that open out to patios or balconies. Dine in one of six inviting restaurants. Spend leisurely days playing tennis or making a splash in the crystalline pools or waterpark. Relax with a soothing massage in our resort spa or tee off on one of three palm-fringed golf courses with views of the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains from our California resort.
