The FTC "Funeral Rule" was enacted in 1984 and is designed to ensure that all funeral homes including Gibson-Bode Funeral Home & Cremation Services provide consumers adequate information with regards to the products and services they are charged for, including obtaining price information on the telephone.

As part of the "Funeral Rule", Gibson-Bode Funeral Home & Cremation Services will provide anyone who asks with a General Price List (GPL) that includes but not limited to, the expenses of funeral service items such as transportation to the cemetery near or around Whiteside county, and viewing or visitation services.
