Most municipalities have chosen to focus on the regulation of funeral services and, in limited instances, the provision of subsidies for related expenses.

The company now has over 600,000 active accounts that cover 4.2 million Brazilians across 2,000 municipalities in 12 different states and the Brasilia Federal District.
