What fireproof filing cabinet is appropriate for a funeral home?

Funeral homes maintain death certificates, burial permits, pre-need funeral contract records, and financial records — many of which are state-regulated and must be retained for specific periods. Pre-need contract records in particular often require long-term retention (sometimes 10 years or more after the contract expires). A 4-drawer vertical or lateral fireproof filing cabinet with a locking mechanism is appropriate. Given the sensitive nature of the documents (including client personal and financial information), the locking capability is as important as the fire protection. A 1-hour UL Class 350 rating is appropriate for most funeral home office environments. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for appropriate options.
