The MBNA Certification Program was developed as a result of a three-year study program by some of the industry's most recognized leaders. It raises the professional standards to those engaged in the memorialization industry and awards the top level of competence and ethical conduct. The MBNA Certified Memorialist® (CM) designation is the highest honor of professional achievement available in the memorial industry. Certification is awarded to individuals, not a firm as a whole. Both Members and non-members of MBNA can apply to become a CM.
CMs are recertified every three years with requirements to continue their involvement in the profession and education.
To become a Certified Memorialist®, a candidate must:
MBNA Officer Elected President Of the Texas Cemetery Association
Maryland Cemetery, Funeral and Cremation Association 10th Annual Holiday Gathering
Deadline is December 30
Remember the people you love in the places you love!
Why do we choose to remember? Because remembering is beautiful and ennobling.
Stone is polished by hours of work by a skilled craftsman. There is no "coating" that is applied. The beautiful, nearly permanent shine on memorials is created by a series of diamond impregnated pads, water, and a skilled craftsman. If the polishing process is done incorrectly, the stone can overheat causing the stone surface to prematurely crumble.
