Many times families I meet with are uncertian of what their rights are. For any funeral director this is opportunity to guide a family properly by disclosing consumer rights if applicable in any given situation.
A funeral homes General Price List is a perfect example how you the consumer can protect yourself. Every funeral home has to have a general price list. That price list must be presented to anyone who enters a funeral establishment and has a question regarding funeral arrangements. The FTC requires certain disclosers that are listed directly on the General Price List, Casket Price List and Outer Interment Price List. Depending on the goods and services selected or those that are being supplied by a funeral home certain disclosers must be made known at the time of discussing funeral arrangements. Like in the story I shared in my last post “What do I need a Funeral Director For?” The discourteous gentleman, who by the way I have always believed to be one of my managers hazing me, would have needed a rigid container as required by the crematory. This is just one example of how laws are in place to protect families as well as the funeral homes.
