We want to share some exciting news from one of our own! Fellow FCANC board member Jane Callahan Dornemann has just published a book, and we're confident it will be right up your alley.

A Death Doula's Guide to a Meaningful End (Chicago Review Press, April 2026) draws on Jane's 7+ years as an end-of-life doula to explore what it means to face death with honesty, courage, and care. It's part memoir, part practical guide—surprisingly funny, deeply human, and exactly the kind of book you'll want to press into the hands of someone you love.

As people who think seriously about the end of life, you are exactly the audience Jane had in mind. You can purchase your very own copy from www.Bookshop.org and other major retailers.

Please join us in celebrating Jane and this wonderful contribution to the death care community!

Our 2025-2026 Funeral Home Price Survey is here!

In launching this survey, we collaborated with the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service to secure an up-to-date database of the state's 750+ licensed funeral homes. This resource proved invaluable, providing the current contact details necessary for our outreach. A dedicated team of 19 volunteers—including our 11 board members—undertook the task of gathering price data. Since General Price Lists (GPLs) are rarely available online and the Federal Trade Commission has yet to mandate digital transparency, Funeral Consumers Alliance affiliates play a vital role in ensuring consumers have access to this essential information.

To learn more about the importance of this survey and everything that it includes, visit our website at https://www.funeralsnc.org/price-survey/
