This week we announced changes at the Boston Burial Permits Office, including a new payment system. Also in this issue, we announced an update on the Federal Trade Commission's release of the proposed Funeral Rule, shared the MAVRIC user tip of the week, and that John Bourgoin of Chapman Funerals and Cremations in Falmouth and Michael McGaffigan of McGaffigan Family Funeral Home in Pepperell attended the opening session of the Northeast Funeral Service Partnership's Leadership Academy held in Albany.
