Founders Message
David P. Reese, Founder – AmDeCa™
After nearly four decades in the funeral profession, I’ve come to believe something simple, but profound:
We don’t just serve the dead.
We carry the living.The American Deathcare Association (AmDeCa™) was born from this truth — a belief that our profession is not just a job, but a calling rooted in presence, honor, and emotional wisdom.
Whether you are a funeral director, FH & Crem Staff, crematory operator, hospice nurse, clergy, or grief support specialist, support services, industry organization, member of the general public, and the like... your work matters. It deserves recognition, community, and support.
AmDeCa exists to preserve ceremony, uphold service, educate the public and ensure that future generations know the true value of what we do and the importance of it.
Thank you for walking this path. I’m honored to walk it with you.
