Greetings!

I want to first thank God, my colleagues and the members of the Florida Morticians Association for the opportunity to serve as the incoming President for the 2024-2026 term. I am honored, humbled and filled with great enthusiasm as we continue to move the Florida Morticians Association forward.

Over the next two years, we aspire to “move on up” and continue to inspire positive change in the Funeral Service industry.

It is my goal that we will work together to make the Florida Morticians Association open, inclusive and respectful of all members. I am committed to creating more opportunities to share and increase our knowledge, increase membership and build meaningful connections.

As we embark upon our 100-years, “The Centennial”, we are thankful for the many hands that have taken the helm and have brought us this far.

Please know that your ideas matter. Your contributions are invaluable and are necessary steps that will propel us forward. I encourage you to actively participate and engage in upcoming initiatives, meetings, events and committees.

Thank you once again for entrusting me with this tremendous opportunity and I look forward to working with all of you.

Best Regards,

Timothy E. Kitchens, President
Florida Morticians Association
Licensed Funeral Director & Embalmer
