Federal Trade Commission: THE FUNERAL RULE
The Federal Trade Commission regulates the funeral industry nationally.
In the mid-1980s, the FTC began this oversight as a protection for the consumer. The “Funeral Rule” was written to establish guidelines for the funeral provider to give the consumer accurate information and disclosures on funeral goods, services, and pricing.
