The FTC's July 2012 guidance describes making funeral-arrangement decisions in advance without paying in advance. Suggested practice: keep a preferences or planning inquiry separate from a prepaid-contract purchase.
The FTC's July 2012 guidance says state laws govern funeral prepayments and protections vary widely. Some prepaid plans can be transferred, often at added cost. Suggested practice: identify the state, included goods and services, cancellation terms and transfer terms for the actual contract.
The FCA's guidance updated 6 March 2026 says to check that a funeral-plan provider is authorised and has permission to enter contracts and administer existing plans. For an AR or IAR, it says to check the principal for permitted services. Suggested practice: name the provider role precisely.
The FCA explains that the plan provider may differ from its seller: a funeral director acting as an appointed representative may sell its principal's plan and ultimately deliver it. Suggested practice: distinguish seller, provider and service-delivery roles in the offer.
