FDR's Mistake Franklin Roosevelt left detailed instructions for his funeral, but he deposited them in his safe without informing anyone. He desired a rapid return of his crippled body to the elements. Just tear up your old form and ask your society for a new one to complete. Remember, your Prearrangement Form is not a legal contract. It is a thoughtful expression of your wishes.
Membership is transferable among all societies in the U.S. and Canada for little or no charge.
Memorial societies are nonprofit, democratic organizations, with unpaid directors and officers elected from the membership. They are not connected in any way with cemeteries or with funeral establishments, nor is there any religious affiliation. A few large memorial societies have part time secretaries, but the majority of our work is done by volunteers. Your involvement can be as great or as little as you choose. As a member you do have a vote in the conduct of your society's affairs.
