Dirty Trick #5: Deceptive Funeral Practices. The professional funeral industry has recently been under attack from consumer news programs warning consumers about unethical funeral home practices. Fraudulent funeral homes use varied tactics to mislead, confuse and take advantage of trusting consumers. This does not mean all funeral home providers are rip-off artists, but enough to warrant the establishment of a federal law protecting consumers. The Funeral Rule, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission establishes rights for the consumer.
For further information about business practices in the funeral industry, please call the Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357. Most people have no idea about their rights regarding the selection and purchase of funeral home products and services.
