Can the general price list be made available to the public for a nominal fee?

The general price list is a critical document in the funeral and cemetery industry, designed to provide transparency and allow consumers to make informed decisions about funeral services. According to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, specifically regarding the Funeral Rule, businesses must present the general price list to consumers at no charge. This rule aims to ensure that all consumers have easy access to pricing information without any financial barrier, promoting fairness and preventing any practices that might inhibit informed decision-making.

Making the general price list available for a nominal fee would contradict these FTC regulations and would not align with the intent to provide transparency. Therefore, ensuring the list is free is crucial for maintaining compliance and reinforcing the ethical standards of the industry.
