Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can FCA pay for my loved one's funeral?

Sorry, we don't have the funds to pay for people's funerals, BUT ideas about where to find money and reduce costs are on our Financial Aid" page.

 

What is the least expensive funeral home in my area?

To compare prices at-a-glance using our price survey We are not affiliated with or funded by any funeral business or businesses. 

 

The price list that the police, hospice or hospital hand you is often incomplete!  We have seen them specifically leave off the cheapest mortuary!

 

In our price comparison you can tell which funeral homes charge less, even if it doesn't list the specific item or service you want. Then reach out to the funeral homes you are interested in to obtain a "General Price List" (GPL) in order to confirm their prices.

After receiving phone help one widower said, "I will be forever grateful for your help.  When I am on my feet again I will donate.  Everyone should know about what you do."
 
One member wrote,
"I appreciate all your work on research and letting others know.  I cringe every time I think of $12,000 to take care of a loved one after death.  That could help put a grandchild through college!"
