Do I have to purchase a casket at the funeral home?
The “Funeral Rule” established by the Federal Trade Commission states that a funeral home cannot refuse to service a family who chooses to purchase a caster (or any item) from another vendor. There are options to purchase caskets, outer burial containers, urs, and other memorial merchandise online or in specialized stores. The Peaceful Decisions team is available to answer your individual questions about funeral merchandise.
