Federal Trade
Commission (the “FTC”) enacted the Funeral Industry Practices Trade Regulation Rule, 16
C.F.R. Part 453 (1982). The so-called Funeral Rule, among other things, prohibits funeral homes
from refusing to service or from otherwise penalizing consumers who purchase caskets from
independent casket discounters (“ICDs”) It also prohibits funeral homes
from requiring consumers to purchase funeral packages that force them to buy goods that they do
not want, such as caskets.
