Hi there. It's your "Friendly Neighborhood Undertaker" with your Funeral Fact Friday!

Let's talk about NC Funeral Pricing Transparency.

Transparency matters — especially when families are making difficult decisions under stress.

Did you know that in North Carolina, funeral homes are required to provide pricing information to anyone asking about funeral goods or services — thanks to federal and state law! 📜

📌 Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule, funeral providers must:
• Give anyone who asks in person a General Price List (GPL) they can keep — itemized with prices for goods and services offered.
• Offer price information over the phone if requested (though they don’t have to mail the full GPL unless state law says so).
• Let you pick and choose only the goods and services you want — no hidden packages or bundled sales.

📍 In North Carolina specifically, state statute requires funeral directors to provide a written statement at the time arrangements are made showing:
• What services and merchandise you selected,
• Each separate price, and
• Any fees that may be passed on to the purchaser.

Asking for the GPL early helps you compare prices and make informed choices. 💛

Remember, informed families are empowered families!
