The Funeral Consumers Alliance of the Hudson Valley (FCAHV)  is a nonsectarian, not-for-profit, consumer educational and advocacy organization.   Since its 1962 genesis, completely managed by volunteers.

Advance planning can spare survivors the pressure of making difficult decisions at a time of sorrow and emotional stress.  

The FCAHV takes a practical look at an uncomfortable subject and explains to the interested public how to plan funerals with simplicity, dignity, and economy. 

The FCAHV maintains awareness of and responds to activities, laws and practices affecting funerals — both within New York State, and throughout the United States, via our collaboration with  the national  Funeral Consumers Alliance (FCA) ◼ and other FCA affiliates.
