Far too often high mark-ups are passed on to unwitting consumers by funeral homes. Caskets are often marked up 4 to 6 times the actual cost to the funeral home. And with 3 large conglomerates now controlling more and more of the funeral business in the United States and Canada, the industry lacks healthy price competition. It's a situation that invites pricing abuses. This is why the FTC passed the Funeral Law in 1994.
Jules Polonetsky (NYC Consumer Affairs Commissioner) says the cost of burying a loved one is becoming unreasonable as a result of deceptive trade practices and consolidation in the funeral home industry. An investigation by his office found grieving consumers were misled or tricked by funeral directors into buying services or items they didn't want or need."
