As
a member of the Association, you receive valuable benefits
not available elsewhere to help you, your profession
and the families you serve. Here are some of those benefits:
Impact
over laws and rules governing the profession
The lobbying team has been in place for many years
providing continuity and insight found nowhere
else. The team either works independently or in
coalition with other groups such as cemeterians,
pre-need representatives, funeral industry consultants,
and other public interest groups, depending upon
the issue. The laws and rules affect your profession
more than anything else; membership puts and keeps
you in the loop.
Political
Action Committee
The PAC raises money and is a focused source of
support for legislative campaigns and causes that
the Association feels would be most beneficial
to the Industry and the public it serves. For
further information, or to make a contribution,
please contact Leigh Ann Bradley at leighann@executiveoffice.org |

FCCFA
Magazine
This professional quarterly magazine discusses timely
issues, new laws and rules, information about activities
of others in the profession, new products and services,
happenings of national and international scope, and
the activities of your Association and its members.
It comes with your membership; otherwise the subscription
rate is $30.00 per year. For further information, or
to request a non-member subscription, please contact
Leigh Ann Bradley at leighann@executiveoffice.org

When something happens that you need to know about quickly,
the Association can simultaneously fax information on
legislative matters, special meetings, death notices,
