Your Right to Compare Prices

The FTC Funeral Rule requires every funeral home in America to provide itemized pricing on request — over the phone, in person, or in writing. You do not need to give your name, address, or telephone number. This is federal law, and it exists to protect you.

Where Our Pricing Data Comes From

1

Published Price Lists

We index General Price Lists (GPLs) that funeral homes publish on their websites — the same data the FTC requires them to share on request.

2

Family-Reported Costs

Families who have used a funeral home can anonymously share what they paid. We aggregate this data to show realistic cost ranges.

3

Funeral Home Verified

Funeral homes can submit their own verified pricing directly, earning a Transparent Pricing badge on their listing.
