If a funeral home commits an unlawful act against you or your loved one, you may want to file a complaint with the Alabama Board of Funeral Services.
The Board regulates funeral homes across the state of Alabama to ensure they are complying with regulations.
If a funeral home breaks the law, the Board can investigate the charges and sanction guilty funeral homes. Sanctions can range from a monetary fines, to probation or even the revocation of licenses.
