Vertical File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What filing storage does a funeral home need for records compliance?
Funeral homes have specific records requirements from state mortuary licensing boards and the FTC Funeral Rule. Records include: arrangement contracts (general price lists, itemized statements), death certificates, burial transit permits, disposition authorizations, pre-need contracts, and financial records. Most states require retaining arrangement records for 5–10 years. Pre-need contract records may require much longer retention (until the pre-need contract is fulfilled). A lockable 4-drawer vertical filing cabinet handles most small funeral home administrative needs. Pre-need files are particularly sensitive (they contain personal and financial information about living individuals) and require secure storage. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
