Affiliate Resources

The Funeral Consumers Alliance consists of Affiliate groups representing regions throughout the country. These groups exist to serve the needs of the region and State in which they are located. Through this way they are better able to understand the laws, regulations, and local dynamics that can impact consumers of funeral services.

The resources in this section provide information and guidance on forming and running a local affiliate group. Also be sure to visit the About FCA section for more details on how the Funeral Consumers Alliance is structured.
