This course is intended to help you, the funeral provider, comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) Funeral Rule.
The Funeral Rule went into effect on April 30,1984. The Commission revised the Rule early in 1994; revisions became effective later that year.
The Funeral Rule requires you to give consumers accurate, itemized price information and various other disclosures about funeral goods
and services. If you violate the Funeral Rule, you may be subject to penalties of up to $43,280 per violation.
