Funeral Consumers Alliance of the Fox Valley

Funeral Advice You Can Trust

Funeral Consumer Alliance of the Fox Valley is a non-profit organization of area residents dedicated to helping our neighbors make funeral arrangements that are dignified, meaningful and affordable.

We achieve this goal through consumer-education outreach, including group presentations, printed materials, personal consultations, local price surveys and membership benefits. We serve residents within a 25-mile radius of Appleton.

Founded in 2001, the Funeral Consumers Alliance Fox Valley is one of more than 120 similar groups across the country, affiliated with the national Funeral Consumer Alliance (www.funerals.org). We are run solely by volunteers and have no attachment to the funeral industry or any religious group. Our membership is open to all.

Simply put, we are a group of people who have learned about planning funerals through personal experience, and we would like to share our knowledge with you.

HOW IT WORKS…

  • Once you receive your membership kit, complete the planning form.

  • Keep a copy for your personal file, give one to your next of kin, and send a copy to the mortuary (if you choose to pre-select one).

  • Upon death, your relatives simply contact the mortuary and pay for services directly.

  • Pre-payment is not necessary.

  • If death occurs out of town, contact the national FCA office toll-free to find a nearby alliance office. If you move, your membership can usually be transferred to another FCA group for a nominal charge.
