- Print and Complete the Application Form.
- Print and Complete the Final Arrangement/Vital Statistics Form - on which you list your funeral wishes and other pertinent information.
- Print the Cremation Authorization condensed form if you select cremation (which 90% of Memorial Society members do). An official Cremation Form provided by the Funeral Home at your death needs to be signed by your spouse and all living children. The condensed form, available on this website, has similar information and will help you as you discuss your desires and arrangements with your family and children.
Keep the originals yourself! But make at least two copies of the completed forms. Send the first copy to the FCA of Tampa Bay along with your membership donation of $30 per individual or $50 per family (parents & children under 18) to:
FCA of Tampa Bay, Inc.

Lutz FL 33548-5051
Upon receipt of your paperwork and your check, she will send you:
- Your Membership Card.
- The official Schedule of Fees.
- The associated Funeral Home's name, address and phone number.
Once you receive your Membership card and the associated Funeral home's address, take the second copy of the completed forms and put your membership number on the first sheet of each set of forms. Send them to the Funeral Home. Remember to keep the originals yourself!
You may wish to make additional copies of the completed forms to give to others deemed appropriate (all of the children, guardian, trustee, lawyer, clergy, doctor, etc.).
