he Funeral Rule, enforced
by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), protects
consumers by allowing them to purchase funeral
items, such as caskets, from a source other than
a funeral home, without being penalized in any
way.
When you begin the arrangement process, the funeral
director, by law, must give you a General Price
List of the goods and services they provide. With
the exception of the non-declinable fee (the basic
fee of the funeral director and staff, which must
be accepted), you can select or omit any item
on their general price list. The funeral director
cannot change the prices on their list, charge
you a fee, or offer you a different price list
to penalize you if you wish to buy a casket elsewhere.
Will the funeral director be offended when I buy
a casket elsewhere?
Fortunately, most funeral directors are professionals
that will respect your choice to purchase a casket
elsewhere. They are well aware of the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC)Funeral Rule, and the rights
it affords you as a consumer. These laws have
been in effect since 1984, and most funeral directors
have come to accept that many of their customers
can now buy caskets online. Unfortunately there
are still some funeral directors out there that
will try all kinds of illegal sales tactics to
dissuade you from buying a casket online. They
might tell you they have had bad experience with
these online caskets. They might say that the
bottom might fall out, or that it won't fit in
the grave, or that it might not arrive on time
etc. etc.. These hardball sales tactics are illegal
and unfairly pressure emotionally vulnerable families
going through the loss of a loved one. By immediately
asking for a general price list and mentioning
The F.T.C. Funeral Rule, you will put these funeral
directors on notice that you are an informed consumer,
and stop them from trying these tactics. Our caskets
are the same or higher quality than the caskets
on display at your funeral home. Also, since you
will be buying an Eco Casket, assure your funeral
director that you are making this choice in order
to make the funeral more meaningful. Either because
you care for the environment yourself, or because
it is something the deceased cared about. A casket
that reflects the personality and preferences
of your loved one can be a beautiful tribute to
their life.
Can the funeral home make me sign an indemnification
form?
Some funeral directors will try to make you sign
a form that will limit their liability if anything
goes wrong due to the third party casket. This
is mostly just another way to try and intimidate
you into buying a casket from the funeral home.
While it is legal for them to offer you the form,
they cannot require you to sign the form as a
condition of their accepting a third party casket.
We recommend you do not sign any such form.
Will I be required to be present when the casket
is delivered?
There is absolutely no need for you to be personally
present when the casket is delivered. The casket
will be addressed to the funeral home, and any
funeral home employee can sign for receipt of
the casket.
