How often should funeral homes update their general price list?

Updating the general price list at least annually or whenever there is a price change is essential for funeral homes to remain compliant with regulations and provide transparency to consumers. The Federal Trade Commission requires funeral providers to give consumers accurate and up-to-date pricing information as part of the Funeral Rule. This helps ensure that families are not misled about costs and allows them to make informed decisions during a difficult time.

Regular updates also help funeral homes maintain their credibility and trust with clients, as pricing can fluctuate due to various factors including inflation, changes in services offered, or adjustments in operating costs. By committing to an annual review, and also updating the list whenever there are price changes, funeral homes position themselves to serve their clients better while adhering to the legal standards set forth by regulatory agencies.
