FilvaneChange of ownership or control
Funeral home changes of ownership in Florida often first appear publicly as an application on the board agenda.
Acquirers, M&A brokers, lenders
Florida funeral, cemetery & preneed board filings
Florida funeral home acquisitions and ownership changes, before the board meets
Filvane reads each board meeting agenda and addendum posted by the Florida Board of Funeral, Cemetery and Consumer Services and sends you the filings that matter: changes of ownership or control, cemetery acquisitions, preneed transfers and new establishments. Parsed, source-linked, and often in your inbox several days before the meeting.
Public records only. Renews monthly until you cancel; cancel anytime online.
What we track

Consolidators, trust and lending teams

Why timing matters
See pending filings weeks before the licensee search shows them
Florida's official FCCS licensee search lists valid licenses. It states that pending applications are not shown and that there is usually a lag of several weeks before a license transaction appears (source). The earliest public signal is the board agenda.
- Agenda postedGenerally at least 7 days before the meeting. Pro alerts usually go out the same business day a new posting is detected.
- Weekly digestStarter subscribers receive the week's filings in one summary.
- Board meetingThe Board considers each application, with or without conditions.
- License search updatesIssued licenses appear in the official search, often weeks later.
How it compares
Built for the gap between the raw PDF and the announcement
Good free resources exist. They answer different questions.
| Source | What you see | When | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw board agenda PDF | Every item, including pending applications | When posted | Download and read a long PDF each month, plus addenda |
| Announced-deal newsletters | Transactions after they are made public | After announcement | Low, but after the fact |
| License lists and directories | Licenses already issued | After issuance, often with a lag | Low, but pending items are excluded |
| Filvane | Pending ownership, acquisition, preneed and new-establishment filings, parsed | Usually the same business day (Pro) or weekly (Starter) | Read one email, with a link to the source |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where does the data come from?
Only from public records: agendas, addenda and administrative reports posted by the Florida Board of Funeral, Cemetery and Consumer Services on myfloridacfo.com. Every alert links to the source document.
How early do I see a filing?
Board agendas are generally posted at least seven days before each meeting. Pro checks board sources hourly during business hours (9 AM–5 PM ET, weekdays), and Pro alerts usually go out the same business day a new posting is detected. Starter summarizes the week in one digest.
Why not just use the Florida licensee search?
The official FCCS licensee search lists valid licenses. It states that pending applications are not shown and that there is usually a lag of several weeks before license transactions appear. Filvane covers the pending stage, when items first appear on a board agenda.
Is an agenda item the same as an approved transaction?
No. Alerts report applications as listed on a public agenda, with the staff recommendation. They are not final Board actions, and the Board may approve, approve with conditions, table or deny an item.
Which filing types are included?
Changes of ownership or control, cemetery acquisition applications, preneed main license transfers and applications, and new funeral, direct disposal and cinerator establishment applications, plus lower-signal items such as removal services in context.
Which states are covered?
Florida only today. If we add states, Pro subscribers get them at no extra cost; no timeline is promised.
What if an alert is wrong?
Email us at gilmoreauto78@gmail.com with the subject “Correction”. We aim to acknowledge within one business day and to correct or annotate the item within two business days where warranted. When an amended agenda or addendum changes or removes an item, we send an update to everyone who received the original. Staff recommendations are quoted as written, with the meeting date and a link to the official record.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Plans renew automatically each month until you cancel. Cancel anytime from the billing portal (also linked in any alert or receipt), or by email; you keep access through the end of the paid month.
Cancellation and refunds
Plans renew automatically each month until you cancel. Cancel anytime online from the billing portal (the same link is in every receipt and alert), or by emailing gilmoreauto78@gmail.com; cancellation stops the next renewal and you keep access through the end of the period you paid for. First-month guarantee: if we did not send you at least one alert or digest for your plan within 30 days of your first charge, email us within 45 days of that charge and we will refund it in full. Partial months are not otherwise refunded, except where required by law. See the Terms of Service for details.
