Now let us know how you'd like to be involved:

  • Tell your church, class or club that FCA gives 20 to 40 minute interactive presentations (time includes laughter & applause). ​​​​​​​​​​

​

  • ​Recommend our website to preparedness groups, DIY clubs, hospice agencies, social workers, college professors, accountants, estate planners, nurses, city cemetery workers and church groups.

​

  • Ask your local hospital administrators what their written policy is for release of the dead and send us a copy of it. Please!!!!

​

  • Attend or listen to the recording of the quarterly Funeral Licensing Board meetings at 160 E 300 S SLC, see schedule

​

  • Conduct become a contributor to our cemetery survey of prices & policy in whatever county of Utah you like.

​

  • Call your County Health dept (Vital Records office) to ask if their data-entry fees for Dispositioners are a standard or prorated to "time spent" and if they would consider letting you give them the data form before death when it's imminent. Let us know.

​

  • Start a Home Funeral Committee in your community to help care for each others' dead as volunteers.

​

  • Plan to perform a Do-it-yourself funeral for the next death in your family.

​

​

  • File a complaint if you have been taken advantage of, manipulated or lied to by a funeral or cemetery provider (after direct negotiations have proven fruitless):

    • The FTC has told us that they truly WANT to collect these funeral-related complaints. File here:  https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/?orgcode=FCA =>click on "something else" (for a funeral/cemetery complaint since there is no specific category called "Funerals")

    • State complaints: dopl.utah.gov click on Select a profession: Funeral Service --> file a complaint

​

  • Assist with an investigation of Intermountain Donor Service's (IDS) in relation to reimbursement of mortuaries who appear to be charging families for "extra care of donor" bodies. IDS pays for any costs of donating an organ, including any additional body prep resulting from donation of organs. So don't let a funeral home charge you for that!

​​

  • Ask your local hospital to refer survivors to our website.

​

​

  • Improve our website SEO. Leave a Google Review. Cross-link from YOUR website. It helps bump us up in search engine & Ai results! Link to leave a review
