Funeral Consumers Alliance

Need information on your state's funeral and burial laws right away? These downloadable state-specific chapters are the answer (they're in Adobe .pdf format). With each state chapter you get a free bonus chapter,  Necessary Information for Family Involvement. Necessary Information walks you through filing a death certificate, retrieiving a burial/transit/cremation permit, care of the body at home, and more.

The state chapter that follows is packed with helpful tips for consumers who choose to use a funeral home as well as those who want to perform the funeral themselves. For just $5, you'll learn:

• Where and when you need to file permits for a home funeral
• Who regulates funeral homes and cemeteries in your state, and where to file a complaint
• How well (or more often, how badly) protected your prepaid funeral money is, and safer ways to plan ahead without paying ahead
• Gaps in your state's consumer protection laws that leave you vulnerable to funeral fraud or exploitation, and how to protect yourself

Chapters are in Adobe .pdf format.  Once you buy the chapter, a link will be sent to your email address for download.
