MEMBERSHIP AND BENEFITS

There is a one-time membership fee of $50 per adult. Memberships may be transferred from or to another alliance, some without charge. Membership does not become effective until a membership application has been received and processed by FCALA. Please keep a copy for your records and give copies to those who will help facilitate your funeral.

Membership benefits include:

Access to people who are committed to helping others, like yourself, learn their rights as a consumer so as to avoid being taken advantage of by self-serving individuals in the funeral industry.
Unbiased information to plan a meaningful, dignified, and affordable funeral.
Satisfaction knowing you are supporting a worthwhile cause to benefit yourself, and your loved ones, in addition to helping others in your community.
Discounts at some of the funeral homes/mortuaries. (Subject to availability.)

Your membership in the FCALA could save you thousands of dollars on unnecessary funeral costs while helping protect the consumer’s last rights in our area. Because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are able to accept contributions and/or donations on a tax-deductible basis. Consult your tax advisor to confirm deductibility.

Donate: We accept donations in any amount you are comfortable with. (TAX ID # 95-6048119)

STATEMENTS OF UNDERSTANDING

• The Funeral Consumers Alliance of Los Angeles (FCALA) is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, nonsectarian

organization entirely operated by volunteers working to protect consumers' right to choose a

meaningful, dignified, and affordable funeral.

• The FCALA strongly recommends that everyone reviews the information at fcalosangeles.org or at other

websites via links provided prior to making any funeral-related decisions so that you can learn about your

rights as a consumer and protections available to you by the Federal Trade Commission and State of CA

Consumer Affairs Department, etc.

• The FCALA strongly encourages everyone to visit all the local funeral homes in the area so they can meet

the staff, see the facilities, collect written information and review their findings in the comfort of their

own home where they are free from any pressure to make a purchase. (As with other consumer products

and services, the least expensive product or service is not necessarily the best one for you. Nevertheless,

the most expensive product or service does not guarantee the best offering either.),

• The FCALA does not endorse, steer, or encourage anyone, in any way, to seek services over any other

local mortuary or funeral home.

• Members are under no obligation to use any funeral home or mortuary services from any of our

cooperating/participating entities.

• Monies sent to FCALA are non-refundable.

MEMBERSHIP FEE: $ 50.00

Any amount over $50.00 will be considered an additional gift and very gratefully received!
