ANNOUNCEMENTS

(1) WELCOME to the new FDSA website.

It is an adaptive website, which means it recognizes the technology you are using to view it (desktop, laptop, notebook, telephone) and adapts to a format best suited to view the site with that medium. Please note the new domain address for the site, WWW.FDSACHICAGO.ORG, instead of www.fdsachicago.com. That means all of our emails now end in .org instead of .com as well. Please update your contacts accordingly.

(2) CREMATION PERMITS FEES INCREASING EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2020

Ponni Arunkumar, M.D., Cook County Chief Medical Examiner, has informed the association that cremation permit fees are increasing to $200 effective December 1, 2020.

You may contact Dr. Arunkumar at 312-997-4502 if you have any questions.

(3) 2020 VIRTUAL TRADESHOW A SUCCESS

FDSA held a very successful Virtual Tradeshow on November 4, with 244 registrants and 8 exhibitors. We hope you had the opportunity to experience the show. There was excellent discussion, terrific information provided by our speakers, wonderful exhibitors, and overall we believe everybody had a good experience.

We look forward to seeing you next year at what we hope will be a face-to-face tradeshow at the White Eagle Restaurant. It is tentatively scheduled for November 3, 2021.
