What information must a funeral provider disclose under the FTC Funeral Rule?

The correct answer is that a funeral provider must disclose pricing information for all goods and services offered under the FTC Funeral Rule. This rule was established to ensure transparency in the prices of funeral services and products, enabling consumers to make informed decisions when planning a funeral.

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral providers are required to provide a general price list (GPL) that details the prices of various items such as caskets, burial containers, and services such as embalming or direct cremation. This transparency is crucial, as it allows consumers to compare prices between different providers and make choices based on their budget and preferences without being pressured or misled.

While other types of information, such as discounts, promotional offers, and details about staffing or qualifications, may also be important to consumers, they are not mandated disclosures under the Funeral Rule. The emphasis on pricing information helps to protect consumer rights and fosters a more competitive marketplace for funeral services.
