Why this petition matters
This petition is to support the amending of the Funeral Rule to require funeral homes to post their prices online. Let's show the Federal Trade Commission the power of people wanting funeral pricing transparency.
Dear Commissioners,
We urge you to amend the Funeral Rule to require funeral providers to post their General Prices Lists on their websites. Under the current Funeral Rule, there is no practical way for a grieving family to effectively compare prices at the time of death. Bereaved families do not have the time or wherewithal to physically visit or call three, four, or five different funeral homes in order to obtain price information. Requiring online price posting is a natural extension of the Funeral Rule's intent: Transparency of prices for grieving Americans.
