With Henry Sherry voted to take the chair, the meeting dealt with a number of matters; the most important was the name of the organization. Four names were tabled: the British Undertakers’ Alliance, the National Federation of Undertakers, the National Institute of Undertakers, and the National Association of Undertakers. Mr Hurry was asked the name of the ‘American Central Organization’ to which he replied: ‘National Association of Funeral Directors.’
