FCA Planning Kit

Before I Go, You Should Know

The FCA planning kit “Before I Go, You Should Know” is a handy fill-in-the-blank booklet that prompts you to record your decisions and the locations of your important documents. We provide one planning kit free to each new member of FCAWM. If you’d like more copies, let us know. We have a supply of the print versions (English and Spanish); we ask for a donation of $15 per copy. Or you may purchase a digital version (English or Spanish) from the Funeral Consumers Alliance, the national organization that created these kits.

The FCA also provides a series of helpful pamphlets on relevant topics. Visit FCA at funerals.org to read these under Consumers (in webpage format) or under FAQ Pamphlets (for printable pdf format). Or request copies from us.

SPANISH versions are also available on the FCA site. To download FCA pamphlets in Spanish, visit FAQ Folletos – Español.
