The Time For Action is now

Why You Need to Act Now

URGENCY POINT 1 :

Internal Records "Disappear"

Funeral homes know when they’ve made a mistake. Cremation logs, embalming records, and chain-of-custody forms are easily altered or destroyed. We secure this evidence immediately before it vanishes.

URGENCY POINT 2 :

The Clock is Ticking on Justice

 Negligence laws are strict. If you miss the filing window (often just 1-2 years), the funeral home is absolved of all wrongdoing forever—no matter how egregious their mistake was.

URGENCY POINT 3 :

Your Memory Fades, Their Story Shouldn't

 Details about the condition of the body or specific conversations with the funeral director become harder to recall over time. Locking in your testimony now ensures the truth is preserved.
