We are primarily interested in promoting the local, family owned, funeral homes, asking only that the home treat our members fairly, that it refrain from pressuring them at a time when they are especially vulnerable and can so often be encouraged to over-spend, and that it be willing to respond to our annual solicitation of prices that will be guaranteed to be maintained over the ensuing twelve months. Since we prefer to suggest no more than one home in any geographic area, there is, depending on the locations of existing, cooperating funeral homes, no guarantee of being listed. We also check with the Better Business Bureau, and rely on member feedback for both satisfactory and unsatisfactory service reports. We tell our members that all cooperating funeral directors are not restrictive, that they offer services for anyone even if the home is oriented to a particular religion. This donation helps to defray our printing costs and supports our national office.
Additional donations are welcome.
