Established in 1961, the Funeral Consumers Information Society was founded to promote preplanning for simple, dignified final rites. Today, the Society's role has expanded to reflect a growing need for information about other related issues. Through its information and referral services, speakers' bureau, newsletters and educational literature, FCIS offers up-to-date information on federal and state legislation, current literature and practical considerations for informed planning.

The Society is a volunteer-led organization supported solely through the donations of our members and supporters. FCIS is not affiliated with any funeral home, cemetery or crematory. FCIS does not provide funeral or cremation services. An impartial source of advice and counsel, the Society provides information and guidance only.

New! FCIS Survey: Do you believe that Michiganians should have the right to care for our own dead, if we so choose, without being required by law to pay for the services of a licensed funeral director? Click here to VOTE!
