Specialty Hearse Attends NYSFDA’s 2018 Convention
The New York State Funeral Directors Association (NYSFDA) is hosting its annual conference at Turning Point Resort in Verona, New York August 12-15, 2018. The conference aims to provide educational opportunities to funeral directors and their teams. This year’s event features continuing education sessions on embalming, restoration techniques, “people reading,” funeral services, marketing, and many other topics. So far, we’ve put in a 30-vehicle order for multiple customers from Federal Coach at this event. The conference also features a Trade Show portion, where you can find Specialty Hearse in booth #99! The Trade Show hours are Monday from 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM and Tuesday from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Jim, Tom, and Scott attended on behalf of Specialty Hearse; the trio met with many familiar and new faces.

It was a beautiful day on June 14th when Specialty Hearse hosted our first Open House at our facility in East Farmingdale, NY. Scheduled from 10 AM to 4 PM, we had many customers visit our facility, enjoy delicious catered food, and conversed with our sales staff about our new and used hearses and limos available. We also had a raffle and gave away a brand new Church Truck. The lucky winner was Ira Cherry Jr. from Cherry Limousine Service! Congrats, Ira! Along with customers from the past and present, we had many executives visit for our Open House to answer questions on the brands we represent with Accubuilt and Federal Coach. Mike McKiernan, Vice President of Sales for Accubuilt and Nathan Hurst, Sales Manager at Federal Coach, were both in attendance. The Open House was a great opportunity for current customers and potential new ones to meet with the Specialty Hearse team and see our state-of-the-art facility and service center, as well as meeting with the manufacturer executives.
