Hi LC, there are many things against the law. On funeral services, I was thinking out loud looking for some dialogue. Laws vary from state to state and I don't know if federal laws even come in to play. So, even if they have to accept outside caskets, fees to accept and handle them would not be illegal. Also, who's to know what extra fees may be involved in a viewing and funeral that are normally absorbed by the funeral home that would be added if forced to handle an outside casket. There are many ways to circumvent laws and regulators. Geez, the big banks are far more blatant than that and they get away with trillions. Anyway, just was thinking out loud.

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.
