Protecting the consumer's right to chose alternatives for simplicity, dignity, and economy in funeral arrangements
Founded in 1972 as the Idaho Memorial Association, the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Idaho has more than 500 members. We are a consumer information organization promoting education about funeral arrangements and providing oversight to the funeral industry. We are a non-profit (501(c)(4)) Idaho corporation. We contract with local funeral providers to provide basic services to our members at a reasonable price. We're democratically controlled and open to anyone, regardless of sex, race, religion, or nationality. Our unpaid board of directors is elected from the membership and administers association affairs. Other members help by telephoning, research, speaking, and telling others about our goals.
FCAI is affiliated with the national Funeral Consumers Alliance. This affiliation provides important resources for consumers, assures reciprocal arrangements for members should they die while away from home, and facilitates transfer of membership for members who move out of state.
Through our fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, our officers are:
Tom von Alten - President
Mary Lou Brownson - Vice-president
Ritta Nielsen - Secretary
Sheryce Davis - Membership secretary
Bryan Jennings - Treasurer
