One of our goals at Funerals360 is to provide access to information critical to consumers when making decisions regarding funeral planning. There are several very reputable consumer-rights organizations that provide such information and in lieu of recreating this content for you, we prefer to work with those organizations to disseminate the information.
The Funeral Ethics Organization (FEO) mission is to support consumers' access to information and laws and keeps a close eye on industry trends. The FEO had a valuable and complete state-by-state guide on consumer rights regarding funerals. The information which was found on their former website can be found in Funerals360 End of Life Guides by State.
Another important organization and website that is dedicated to consumer funeral rights is the Funeral Consumer Alliance (FCA) (www.funerals.org). The FCA is the oldest (since 1963) national nonprofit consumer group dedicated to educating and advocating on funeral issues. There are FCA affiliates around the country, many of which have done funeral price surveys.
If you would like to know if a price survey has been completed for your region, find and contact your local FCA Affiliate. The FCA can also help mediate funeral complaints or suggest how to file them when complaints are legitimate.
To find a comprehensive break-down of your funeral and end-of-life rights on a state-by-state basis, see our State End of Life Guides.
