New Westminster – The Society of Independent Funeral Homes in BC announced today that they have officially thrown their support behind the Bill Vander Zalm Citizen Initiative to repeal the HST. Society representative, Michael Crean, said their group met with former premier Vander Zalm
last week to hear his plans for the Citizen Initiative, 
and decided it was the single most effective way to combat what the Independent Funeral Homes believe is an unfair tax on human tragedy.
“By uniting with Fight HST, we will be able to make our case more effectively that this is an unfair tax. We believe it is wrong to tax people another 7% for funeral services which are a necessity for all families. The HST hurts consumers, and we strongly oppose it,” said Crean.
The Independent Funeral Directors are going beyond simply providing financial support, and are prepared to help raise awareness for the Citizen Initiative campaign to stop the HST by registering as canvassers and allowing people and families to sign the Initiative petition at their local funeral homes.
“Funeral Homes act as a central resource in many communities, and we have a high profile that we can bring to this petition. We plan to make sure all of our clients are aware of the fight to stop the HST, and are able to sign the Fight HST Initiative petition,” Crean explained.
