OUR MISSION STATEMENT

 

We are a funeral consumers' planning information service tasked to gather information about the local and Ontario death care industry on behalf of those who have decided they do not want full-service, conventional funerals. Specifically to advise how to obtain simple, dignified funerals at modest cost and to effectively communicate this information to anyone interested.

By actively encouraging the pre-planning of, and wise and informed decision making about funerals including consideration of lower cost options, we help to reduce the financial and psychological stress on survivors. FA&MSP is a member of the Federation of Ontario Memorial Societies-Funeral Consumers Alliance (FOOMS-FCA).

FA&MSP does NOT own, operate or have a financial interest in any funeral home, transfer service, crematorium, cemetery or monument company.

Memorial Societies can be found in many major population centres in Canada and the United States. They seek out funeral providers who will agree to provide society members with simple, dignified, funerals at moderate cost. No deposit or prepayment is required when making arrangements with one of these funeral providers. Prearranging is encouraged.

Two types of simple funerals have been set out. They are identified as the Type "A" and the Type "B" and can be varied as desired with cost adjustments.
