Never Buy a Casket From a Funeral Home Before You Watch This (The Law Most Families Don't Know)

I sell caskets for a living, but I’m starting with a truth every family should know: under the FTC’s Funeral Rule, I cannot require anyone to buy a casket from my funeral home, and I must accept a casket purchased elsewhere without charging a handling fee. After 38 years of running a funeral home in Ohio, I’ve also seen why knowing only half of this rule can lead to costly surprises. I explain how I would get the price list first, compare the full costs before buying, evaluate the risks of ordering online, and understand when cremation may not require a casket. I also cover practical ways to enforce these rights and make a choice that truly fits my family’s needs. 0:00 You can buy elsewhere 1:36 Get the price list first 4:34 Compare prices before buying 6:39 The risks of buying online 7:24 Cremation may not need a casket 9:12 How to enforce your rights 9:45 Choose what fits your family #FuneralPlanning #FuneralRule #ConsumerRights #CasketCosts #Cremation
