What must any advertisement by a funeral director or embalmer for the sale of services include when stating a specific price?

When a funeral director or embalmer advertises a specific price for their services, it is essential to include the price of each individual item. This requirement is part of the federal Trade Commission and state regulations aimed at ensuring transparency and clarity in pricing for consumers. By providing the price of each item, consumers can make informed decisions and understand exactly what they are paying for without hidden fees or unclear costs.

Including the price of each item helps uphold ethical practices within the funeral industry and allows consumers to compare prices more easily, fostering competition and promoting fair pricing. This practice protects consumers from potential exploitation and enhances their overall experience during a sensitive time.

While detailed descriptions, minimum prices, and manufacturer names may be useful in certain contexts, they do not fulfill the specific requirement to list the price of each item in advertisements, which is crucial for clear communication to the consumer.
