History

The Society was formed in June 1971.  The Society’s original purpose was to promote simple and dignified funerals, to provide members with the names and pricelists of funeral homes that offered low-cost services, and to provide members with a consultative service for funeral costs and arrangements, organ donations for medical research, and cremation.  Members were encouraged to plan and prearrange their last wishes in accordance with his or her own ethical, religious or philosophical values and beliefs.
