What this bill does

AI-assisted · editorially reviewed

This bill takes the FTC Funeral Rule's price-disclosure idea online — every licensed funeral establishment would have to post an itemized general price list on its public website and send an electronic price list to any family that asks. It is a marketing and compliance change more than an operational one.

Key provisions

  • Requires itemized general price lists on every funeral home's public website
  • Mandates electronic price lists on request from families
  • Aligns state disclosure rules with the federal FTC Funeral Rule
  • Sets a phase-in period for smaller establishments

What this means for operators

Funeral homes that already publish pricing absorb little cost; those that don't will need website updates and may face more comparison shopping. Only about a third of homes currently post prices, so this levels a field many operators have avoided.
