Your rights when comparing
The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives you the right to itemized price information, the right to decline packages you don't want, and the right to use a container you supply. You do not have to accept a bundle to get a cremation, and you are entitled to prices over the phone.
Common questions
What is direct cremation?
Cremation without a viewing or ceremony beforehand. It is the least expensive option because it excludes embalming, visitation, and the use of facilities and staff for a service.
Why do prices vary so much between providers?
Because there is no standard price and families rarely compare. Providers in the same city can differ by thousands of dollars for identical direct cremation.
Am I entitled to price information before I commit?
Yes. The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral providers to give you itemized price information, and you may decline packages and buy only what you want.
Planning ahead, not in a hurry?
Prices change and paperwork is easier done calmly. Tell us where you are and we'll send one follow-up with local provider prices when you ask for it. Nothing more.
