The form asks for information regarding the complaint and any important contracts and letters. The form is only one page long and should be mailed to the Division of Funeral, Cemetery & Consumer Services at Gaines Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0361.

On the Division of Funeral, Cemetery and Consumer Services website, you can also view prior disciplinary orders issued against individuals and businesses.
