ICCFA Model Guidelines for State Laws and Regulations The ICCFA Government and Legal Affairs Committee has developed a set of 28 model guidelines for state laws and regulations, which have been approved by the Board of Directors. The guidelines combine a sensitivity to consumer protection issues with the need for all industry members, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, cemeteries, funeral homes, retail monument dealers or crematories, to conduct their operations according to sound business principles. Below are listed the links for all 28 model guidelines, plus an economic review of minimum funding requirements titled, "A Study of Preneed Funding Requirements."
