Funeral Service Journal (FSJ) is the independent monthly magazine (+ digital channels) for the funeral sector. Nicknamed ‘the industry bible’ we have been publishing since 1886, and look to cover the funeral profession across the board, from independents to groups, crematoria to suppliers, celebrants to florists and more. We take a particular interest in how the funeral world can become more environment-friendly, from natural burial grounds to new developments in sustainable practices, and our team helps behind the scenes with the Good Funeral Awards.
