- ICFM readers are loyal—our annual association membership retention rate is above 97 percent. These companies rely on the association for support in their businesses through the magazine and other benefits.
- In reader surveys, ICFM consistently rates as the most informative, highest quality trade magazine in the cemetery and funeral service profession.
- Because ICFM provides such a uniquely broad variety of news and how-to information, the average pass-along readership rate for each issue of ICFM is 2.5 This brings our total readership to 15,000+!
- In addition to our regular circulation, each issue is sent out for distribution at various state, regional and national industry conferences, giving you even greater exposure to an even wider audience.

- As part of an association community, our readers consider ICFM their magazine. They write the articles. They contribute the news updates. As a result, they have a vested interest in the continued quality and success of the publication and a unique personal connection to it.

Here's what some of our current advertisers say about the advantages of advertising with ICFM:
"We were blown away by the response from our ad campaign in ICFM. We normally have to ask, 'where did you hear about CMS,' but the calls from readers of ICFM let us know that right away! This shows that customers are actually reading the magazine and not just browsing through it. That is the mark of a good publication with solid, helpful editorial content. Publications that are all advertisement and a few 'fluff' pieces that draw limited interest just don't produce the same ad response. The numbers don't lie. I think that some of the publications that were considered 'old standards' for ad dollars just aren't publishing up to 'standard' anymore."
Larry Stuart Jr.
General Manager
Crematory Manufacturing and Service Inc.
"Advertising in the ICFM magazine has been one of the cornerstones of our advertising strategy for many years. Being one of the top publications in the industry, it helps us reach some of its most inquisitive and energetic leaders."
Robert E. DeBeltrand
President
McCleskey Mausoleums
International Memorialization Supply Association
"Advertising in ICFM is working for Ensure-A-seal. I always ask my customers how they heard of us, and a high percentage say they saw our ad in ICFM."
Dave Yearsley
