Did you now that:
1: Funeral homes MAY NOT refuse to accept caskets purchased form another retailer.
2: Funeral homes MAY NOT charge a handling fee for caskets purchased from another retailer.
3: Funeral homes MAY NOT require consumers to be present when a casket is purchased from another retailer is delivered to the funeral home.
4: Funeral homes MAY NOT make slanderous statements about buying caskets from another retailer.
5: Funeral homes MAY NOT require consumers to buy certain funeral goods or services as a condition for furnishing other funeral goods or services.
This was published in the Wisconsin Cemetery and Cremation Reporter in 2007. It is based on the strict Federal TRade Commission laws governing funeral homes and their interaction with customers.
