Funeral Consumers Alliances (United States)

Funeral Consumers Alliance (FCA) in the United States represents not-for-profit affiliates similar to memorial societies in Canada. Like memorial societies, they are dedicated to protecting a consumer's right to choose a meaningful, dignified, affordable funeral. There are now about 70 nonprofit funeral-planning groups across the US.
​
​Many FCA affiliates, with the help of their volunteers, do a price survey of area mortuaries. Some have been able to negotiate a discount at participating funeral homes, sort of like a cooperative buyers’ club. Some focus on education and advocacy only. Joining and supporting a local FCA group will help you save thousands of dollars on unnecessary funeral costs while ensuring we can protect a consumer’s last rights in your neighborhood and around the country. Fees to join are similar to CCMS.

Find a FCA in the US
Note: In eastern Canada funeral co-operatives have take the place of memorial societies
