We're excited to let you know that a project recently completed by Roger was shared with the membership of the Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association in this week's newsletter, Inside Edition which is sent to thousands of funeral service professionals in the Commonwealth.
In an article introduction, Chris Berg, Chairman of the MFDA Registry of Vital Records & Statistics Liaison Committee, extended his sincere thanks to Roger on behalf of his colleagues for his development of a very comprehensive Massachusetts Municipal Vital Records Directory, which contains information for all 351 cities and towns.
This resource will be available to funeral homes and other stakeholders throughout the Commonwealth on a 24 hour basis to access information about how to order certified copies of death and burial permits.
Funeral Directors play an important role in the processing and recording of legal documents that are integral to our RVRS and a cornerstone of our public health system.
We here at Rice Funeral Home are very proud of Roger and the enthusiasm of his colleagues for this project!
