Funeral Planning registry
The Funeral Planning Registry is a secure repository of members' contact information, funeral plans and guidance information, together with required Vital Statistics information. Members or their designees enter this information, which assists next-of-kin, executors, and funeral homes in planning the funeral and burial or cremation according to the member's wishes. It also helps executors complete necessary Vital Statistics documentation.
The registry is password-protected and adheres to our Privacy Policy. Our funeral service providers have special access so they can access your profile when needed. All funeral directors are bound by a Code of Ethics.
