"Preneed" is a term coined by the funeral industry to describe the arrangement and payment of a funeral prior to death. Obviously, if you are to have any say in it, you must plan in advance of your death. "Prearrangement" is also used interchangeably with "preneed".
I'm especially excited about the forum. What a wonderful place to communicate with fellow FCA consumer advocates!
The RSS feeds are also a fantastic enhancement. I won't have to visit the site and explore every nook and cranny to find new information that interests me. The new posts will now magically appear in my email inbox with links to the post where I can follow comments or threaded conversations in the forum.
Thanks!
Minor suggestion: FCAWP offers a discounted rate for two copies of "Before I Go..." to encourage couples to buy two copies. You might consider doing that, as well. Maybe 2 for $20?
On my browser title of this Welcome section takes two lines anyway, so you might want to force a line break putting the FCA name all on the second line.
Also, Header has a date of last fall, you might want to update to March 26 2008.
