Families Helping Families
Since 2002, we have helped over 100,000 families across the United States through their most trying times. The death of a loved one is a devastating time in life, and every family deserves to be guided through that process. We are dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and loving support to our members as though they were our own family.
Who We Are
The Funeral Consumer Guardian Society is a consumer advocate organization. For over 20 years, we've helped hundreds of thousands of members navigate funeral planning without the confusion, pressure, and inflated costs that too often come with grief.
We are not tied to any funeral home, cemetery, or religious organization, which means our only loyalty is to you and your family. We believe that when you're mourning a loved one, you shouldn't have to worry about being taken advantage of or making decisions without proper information.
What We Do
When someone you love dies, the last thing you should worry about is whether you're being treated fairly. We step in to handle the complicated stuff: reviewing contracts, negotiating with funeral homes, and making sure you understand every option and cost.
Our goal is simple - help you create a meaningful farewell for your loved one without breaking the bank or adding stress to an already overwhelming time. We've saved our members millions of dollars while ensuring they get exactly the services they want, nothing more, nothing less.
Our Company Constants
Twenty years ago, our founder brought something different to funeral advocacy, real experience from inside the industry. As a former funeral director, he understood exactly how families were being misled and overcharged during their most vulnerable moments. The principles he established then still guide everything we do today. When we're on the phone with a grieving family at 2 AM, when we're training new advocates, or when we're planning for the future, we return to these same core values that have helped hundreds of thousands of families.
