Serving Members

How does the Society serve its members?

  • By negotiating a low-cost contract with a mortuary;
  • By keeping on file Mortuary Instructions for after-death care. The Instructions (which may be changed at any time), greatly simplify needed action when death occurs;
  • By issuing a wallet card, once Instructions are filed. This identifies the member in an emergency and gives a toll-free phone number to call for Mortuary Instructions;
  • By keeping members informed via a semi-annual newsletter;
  • By providing Volunteer Counselors throughout the service area to assist with questions.
  •
