Q: What if the funeral home we use offers to match your price on the casket? A: You should consider why they didn't give you their best price to begin with. Keep in mind that they want to see their highly competitive retailers out of business so that they can continue to monopolize casket prices and force families to pay their high prices. In the event that they do offer to lower their price on their casket, you should demand a corresponding discount on their total funeral service prices. The funeral home will not be pleased that they are losing a casket sale so do not be convinced during an emotional loss to make a financial loss.
Q: Will the funeral home accept the casket? A: Yes. It is against Federal Law for a funeral home to refuse a casket purchased elsewhere. A 1994 ruling by the Federal Trade Commission called "The Funeral Rule" guarantees and safeguards your freedom to purchase a casket and have it delivered to the funeral home for use. The Funeral Rule also states that funeral homes must not only accept a casket purchased from an outside source but without causing any unnecessary duress to the family and is prohibited from charging any extra or handling fee or manipulating their existing prices in any way to penalize you. Any funeral home that refuses to accept a casket from a family is subject to a fine of $10,000 per incident from the Federal Trade Commission. They would also be subject to any civil damages resulting from any complaint filed by the family for emotional distress for refusing to accept the casket, refusing to perform the funeral service or charging the family anything extra because they exercised their right to comparison shop. Funeral homes all across America are accepting caskets purchased elsewhere to avoid any scrutiny or repercussions from the FTC.Please visit the U.S. Federal Trade Commission website for more in depth information.
