FIAT-IFTA's UNESCO accreditation
will continue

We're thrilled to announce that FIAT-IFTA has once again been accredited to provide advisory services to the Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. This reaffirms our commitment to preserving and promoting funeral cultural heritage on an international scale. We look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts with UNESCO and other organizations to safeguard funeral cultures across the globe.

Part of FIAT-IFTA commitment within the framework of the International NGO Consultative Status Intangible Cultural Heritage is the publication of the Funeral Heritage Report. This report helps our industry to share, learn and hopefully safeguard funeral traditions and customs associated with death, funerals and bereavement that still exist today around the world. The upcoming edition will be presented in print and digital versions in 2024 during the FIAT-IFTA Convention in Krakow (September 18-20, 2024). The publication will be translated into Chinese, Spanish and French.
