Title: ●Trade Regulation Rule on Funeral Industry Practices | |
Abstract:
The Commission plans to initiate periodic review of the Funeral Industry Practices Rule (Funeral Rule or Rule) during 2019. The Rule, which became effective in 1984, requires sellers of funeral goods and services to give price lists to consumers who visit a funeral home and to disclose price and other information to callers who request it over the telephone. The Rule enables consumers to select and purchase only the goods and services they want, and requires funeral providers to seek authority before performing some services such as embalming. The Rule also requires funeral providers to make disclosures regarding any required purchases and prohibits misrepresentations regarding requirements and other aspects of funeral goods and services. |
