Funeral Rule
The Federal Trade Commission enacted the Funeral Rule on April 30, 1984, then provided stiffer enforcement provisions on July 19, 1994. This rule prevents funeral providers from: *Misrepresenting legal, crematory, and cemetery requirements; *Embalming for a fee without permission; *Requiring the purchase of a casket for direct cremation; *Requiring consumers to buy certain funeral goods or services as a condition for furnishing other funeral goods or services; and *Engaging in other deceptive or unfair practices. Funeral providers who violate the Funeral Rule may be subject to penalties of up to $10,000.00 per violation.
General Price List
The Funeral Rule requires funeral providers to offer a General Price List. The list itemizes the various goods and services they offer, and how much they cost. Funeral providers must give a General Price List to anyone who inquires about funeral arrangements, including competitors, journalists, and representatives of businesses, religious societies, government agencies, or consumer groups. The General Price List must be offered before the funeral provider begins to discuss: *The type of funeral or disposition that they can arrange; *The specific goods and services that they offer; or *The prices of their goods and services. The funeral provider must physically offer consumers a General Price List that they can keep and take home with them. Funeral providers cannot charge a fee for the General Price List or place any conditions upon giving consumers information that the Funeral Rule requires them to provide.
Consumer’s Rights under the Funeral Rule
Funeral providers must disclose six rights of funeral consumers, including:
1. Right of Selection – Consumers have the right to select only the items they want to buy. However, any funeral arrangements a consumer selects will include a charge for basic services and overhead.
2. Embalming – The law does not require embalming, except in certain special cases (not specified in the Funeral Rule). However, embalming may be necessary for certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. Consumers who do not want embalming usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require them to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.
3. Alternative Containers – Consumers who choose direct cremation can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without and outside covering). The funeral provider must specify which containers they provide.
4. Basic Services Fee – The funeral consumer has the right to know how much the non-declinable fee for basic services and overhead will be. The consumer does not have the option to decline this charge.
5. Casket Price List – The funeral provider must disclose that a Casket Price List is available. If it is not listed as part of the General Price List, it must be provided before beginning discussion of casket prices.
6. Outer Burial Container Price List – The funeral provider must disclose that a Outer Burial Container Price List is available. If it is not listed as part of the General Price List, it must be provided before beginning discussion of outer burial container prices.
