Benefits of Joining

As a member of the Association, you receive valuable benefits not available elsewhere to help you, your profession and the families you serve. Here are some of those benefits: 

Impact over laws and rules governing the profession
The lobbying team has been in place for many years providing continuity and insight found nowhere else. The team either works independently or in coalition with other groups such as cemeterians, pre-need representatives, funeral industry consultants, and other public interest groups, depending upon the issue. The laws and rules affect your profession more than anything else; membership puts and keeps you in the loop. 

Death Statistics Report
The FCCFA Death Statistics Report is available to members on a quarterly basis. This report provides year-to-date information for the entire state and allows the user to sort the data by county or counties. 

Member Benefit Programs: Below are a few of the programs that can help you save money and run a better business. 

Natural Gas Discount Program

FCCFA members can post job openings at no cost at floridafuneraljobs.com. 

FCCFA Magazine
This professional quarterly magazine discusses timely issues, new laws and rules, information about activities of others in the profession, new products and services, happenings of national and international scope, and the activities of your Association and its members. It comes with your membership; otherwise the subscription rate is $30.00 per year.

Music Licensing Partnership
FCCFA membership now entitles your company to music licensing with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. FCCFA provides our members the opportunity to be in full compliance with the law and ensure you are covered for any music a client family might request. The International Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association (ICCFA) and the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) provide extremely low pricing to FCCFA members.
