The FTC’s Funeral Rule.
The Funeral Rule’s primary goal is to ensure that grieving families can make informed decisions without facing undue pressure or exploitation.
When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral – all of which must be made quickly and under great emotional duress.
What is the Funeral Rule ?
The Funeral Trade Rule, enacted by the Federal Trade Commission on April 30, 1984, and amended effective 1994, was designed to protect consumers by requiring that they receive adequate information concerning the goods and services they may purchase from a Funeral provider.’
All Funeral & Funeral service providers, ( i.e.- Funeral Homes, Funeral Directors Low-Coast DIRECT Cremation Service and Cemeteries – Cemeterians ) must comply with US Government LAW & it’s Funeral Trade Rule.
YES – We can sell you, your Family, and / or an associate a Casket of choice and have it delivered within the Lower 48 States for FREE by road freight within 3-7 Days on average, depending on where you are based ( or 1-2 Day AIR FREIGHT across North America to your nearest major Airport at an extra cost ) to your chosen Funeral Service Provider, Funeral Home – Funeral Director – Cremation Service Provider or Cemetery Manager.
The Funeral Trade Rule defines such terms as, funeral provider, funeral goods, and funeral services and specifies various consumer rights, as well as specific parameters in which funeral industry goods and service providers must respect consumer rights and conduct their business.
By purchasing your own Casket you can save at least $500 and up to $1300 and even more in some circumstances ! – with the LAW on your side enforcing your rights.
That’s right – you can call us & place an order and have your Casket, Urn, Body Shroud etc. sent DIRECT to the Funeral Home of choice and save a small fortune – BY LAW !
As a strong suggestion – The KEY to being sure to save is to ask your chosen / preferred Funeral Service – Cremation Service Provider for an itemized quote for Service and Casket –BEFORE you tell them you will be providing your own Casket as its been known ( should folks tell them BEFORE they received your itemized costs in the WRITTEN QUOTE ) by many Funeral Homes controlled by large profit driven conglomerates to increase costs in other areas of the Funeral Service to cover any losses from the huge mark-up on Caskets over the years & can also alter other traditional service needs & charges.
