What must funeral homes provide according to the FTC Funeral Rule?

Funeral homes are required to provide itemized pricing of all services and merchandise according to the FTC Funeral Rule. This rule is designed to promote transparency and protect consumers by ensuring that they receive clear, accurate pricing information. This requirement allows families to make informed decisions about funeral services based on their specific needs and budget.

By obligating funeral homes to disclose itemized pricing, the FTC Funeral Rule prevents any potential hidden fees or last-minute markups, allowing consumers to compare prices and services among different providers effectively. This transparency helps to create a more competitive market and fosters trust between funeral service providers and the families they serve.
