Historia
The Funeral Advisory Society of Hamilton & District (FASHD) was founded in 1971 under the name, Hamilton Memorial Society. It was founded by Callie Archer, after reading an article about the cost of funerals in Ontario. The aim of the organization was to advocate for simple, affordable funeral and memorial services consumers. In 1984, the name was changed to Funeral Advisory Society of Hamilton & District to better reflect their advocacy goals and membership demographics. In 2012, the Ontario government introduced new legislation with regards to consumer rights for funeral services. Considering the new legislation, the board of directors voted to voluntarily dissolve the organization as the goals they lobbied for were reached with the new legislation.
