Incorporated under the Ontario Corporations Act. We are a democratic, non-sectarian organization, with an unpaid volunteer Board of Trustees, elected at an annual general meeting usually held in Ontario each May or June. Everyone is welcome to attend the AGM.

Computers and the internet have changed memorial societies, including the Federation of Ontario Memorial Societies – Funeral Consumers Alliance in recent years.  FOOMS-FCA member societies decided that their members could be served more efficiently by merging into one memorial society with a provincial-wide basis, The Funeral Advisory and Memorial Society (FAMS).

The Chair of the Government Relations Committee continues to meet with government officials and to alert them to consumer concerns, particularly as they relate to The Funeral, Burial and Cremations Services Act and Regulations, The Bereavement Authority of Ontario and the Coroner’s Act.
