Our Survey of Triad
Funeral Prices
The Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) has established a Funeral Rule which, among
other things, requires funeral providers to make available a written
general price list of their services and to give a copy of the list to
anyone who visits the business and requests one. A useful resource
prepared by the FTC is a pamphlet entitled Complying With The Funeral
Rule. Anyone planning a funeral is strongly encouraged to obtain
general price lists from multiple providers and compare prices.
Also, Funeral
Consumers alliance has provided some information on how to read a general price list.
As a service to
our members, our chapter has collected general price lists from all the
funeral service providers in our area. We have tabulated the prices in
an easy-to-compare format and also created a rating as to how well each
provider meets the requirements of the Funeral Rule.
