People's Memorial Funeral Cooperative

Fully owned by the 80,000 living members of the People's Memorial Association (PMA), People's Memorial Funeral Cooperative (PMFC) is a licensed full-service funeral home providing discounts to its member but also open to the public. In 2007, after the end of a 65-year relationship with an existing funeral service provider over costs, the members of PMA voted unanimously at its April annual meeting to establish PMFC to provide affordable cremation and burial services. As part of its services, PMFC provides environmentally sustainable burials (certified by the Green Burial Council, a national non-profit) and offers carbon-neutral cremations.
