SB 1017 is the most significant preneed legislation Michigan has seen in 20 years. The 30-day full-refund window is a big consumer win, but the 10% cancellation cap may actually hurt smaller funeral homes more than large chains — we should be advocating for a sliding scale based on services already delivered.
Built by practitioners, for practitioners — and for everyone who intersects with end-of-life. This is where deathcare comes to know itself.

We're supporting SB 892 with amendments. The audit requirement is long overdue — families buying burial rights deserve to know their perpetual care money is safe. Our position: raise the disclosure threshold further and include digital portals for beneficiary access.

Field report from Flint, MI: We've seen a 34% increase in direct cremation requests in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. Families are citing price. The gap between a traditional service and direct cremation has grown to $4,200+ in this market. This is a real pressure point HB 4133 pricing transparency needs to address.
