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;
  • By providing reciprocal services with other Memorial Societies in the United States. (See Nationwide Service Network.)

 

How is the Society governed?

Three members are elected to an eleven-member Board of Directors at an annual meeting of members. The Board elects its officers, who serve as officers of the Society and meet throughout the year to direct Society business.
