What is required to be included in a General Price List in Tennessee?

In Tennessee, a General Price List (GPL) must include all goods and services offered by a funeral service provider along with their respective prices. This requirement ensures transparency and provides consumers with comprehensive information about the costs associated with various services and products related to funeral arrangements.

The inclusion of all goods and services allows families to make informed decisions based on their needs and financial situations. It aligns with the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule, which mandates that consumers have the right to receive clear information regarding funeral costs and options. By listing all offerings, the GPL helps avoid situations where families may unintentionally overlook available services or incur unexpected charges due to a lack of information.

Additionally, having a complete price list reflects ethical practices in the funeral industry, fostering trust and ensuring that consumers can effectively compare prices and services from different providers. In contrast, limiting the list to only popular services or frequently purchased items would not fulfill these regulatory and ethical obligations, potentially leaving consumers ill-informed.
