Shuler Funeral Home Receives National Recognition for Innovative Programming,
 Outstanding Community OutreachShuler Funeral Home was honored with the 2011 Pursuit of Excellence Award by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) during its International Convention & Expo in Chicago, Ill. Only 147 firms from around the world received this prestigious recognition, placing Shuler Funeral Home among an elite group of funeral service professionals. Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients raise the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to the highest ethical and professional standards and providing unsurpassed service to families and communities.
Rob Bittle, Shuler Funeral Home Vice President, commended his staff, “To win this award for the fourth consecutive year really shows our dedication to providing outstanding service to the families we serve. I am proud to be part of such an amazing team.”Bittle emphasized that qualifying for the award isn’t based solely on adherence to professional standards— emphasis is also placed on a funeral home’s outreach to its community. “It makes me so proud to see the enthusiasm with which our staff engages in company projects such as collecting clothing for those in need and providing for proper retirement of worn American flags and other outreach efforts. And I’m even more proud that they are also individually involved in donating their personal time and talent to worthwhile community activities.
