NEWINGTON/NEW BRITAIN FUNERAL DIRECTOR ELECTED PRESIDENT
OF THE CONNECTICUT FUNERAL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION
WETHERSFIELD, CONN., January 10, 2020 – Alexander J. Scott, CFSP, CPC, CCSP,
has been elected the 2020 President of the Connecticut Funeral Directors
Association (CFDA). Scott has more than 25 years of experience in funeral
service and funeral home management in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New
York. Scott is a licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer and the Director of
Community Outreach at Duksa Family Funeral Homes. He has been affiliated
with the firm since 2005, at its Newington Memorial Funeral Home and
Fisette-Batzner Funeral Home in Newington, and at Burritt Hill Funeral Home
in New Britain, also having led its advance planning program.
Scott is recognized as a Certified Funeral Service Practitioner (CFSP)
through the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice. The Avon,
Conn. resident also is a Certified Cremation Services Provider (CCSP) and a
CPC (Certified Planning Consultant) from the National Funeral Directors
Association, making him qualified to help families plan appropriate and
customized services, with knowledge in all facets, including the variety of
funding options and ensuring consumer protection.
Prior to his election as CFDA’s President, Scott was the association’s Vice
President. He attended Boston University, has a Bachelor of Science degree
with Honors in Business Management from Western New England College, and
received his degree in Mortuary Science from Simmons Institute of Funeral
Service in Syracuse, NY.
Scott’s selected for his Presidency the theme of “A Legacy of Care.Every
Family, Every Time.” “Each day, we are faced with helping people in our
community through what is conceivably the worst days of their lives,”
explains President Alexander Scott. “We care for their spouses, parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, siblings and, sadly, their children
when tragedy strikes. This is our legacy and our welcomed, privileged duty.
It is a continuity of love, service and care, delivered with a genuine
interest in others’ well-being and peace: from preneed and preliminary
estate planning, to handling actual services and helping families to
navigate all of the decisions to be made, and then aftercare and support.
Let us be forever mindful of what an honor it is be chosen as the provider
for our neighbors in such a difficult time.”
In addition to his funeral service responsibilities at Duksa Family Funeral
Homes, Scott is responsible for representing the company at civic
engagements, and he holds membership or board positions with a variety of
organizations including the Newington Chamber of Commerce, Rotary
International of New Britain/Berlin, and the New Britain Chamber of
Commerce. He also has volunteered for many years with senior advocacy
efforts, including the New Britain Senior Triad.
The Connecticut Funeral Directors Association (CFDA) is comprised of funeral
directors at more than 220 funeral homes. Founded in 1889, the
Wethersfield-based professional association is committed to the promotion
and advocacy of high ethical standards in funeral service. This includes the
development and presentation of ongoing professional training opportunities
for practitioners and educational programs for association members and the
public.
