Join us on August 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT for Beyond the Flame: Reimagining Direct Cremation as a Meaningful Tribute, an ICCFA Webinar led by Dr. Christie K. Redmon Moore, CEO of Mansfield Funeral Home & Cremations.
As direct cremation becomes an increasingly common choice, funeral professionals are challenged to create services that offer more than simplicity—they must offer significance. This session will guide funeral directors and deathcare professionals by sharing proven strategies to transform minimal arrangements into deeply personal experiences. Learn how to infuse storytelling, symbolic elements, and family-centered rituals into the direct cremation process to create moments of healing, honor, and remembrance—without compromising affordability.
Christie holds an A.S. in Embalming & Funeral Directing and a Ph.D. in Thanatology & Humanitarian Studies. She has been recognized as the 2024 Quad State Professional of the Year, serves as Vice President of the Independent Funeral Directors Association of Texas (2024–2026), and is the first woman of color to fully own and operate a funeral home and crematory in Tarrant County.
