What is not required to be included in advertisements by funeral establishments?

In the context of advertisements by funeral establishments, it is not a requirement to include the total cost for a minimum adult service. While transparency in pricing is critical in the funeral industry, the regulations primarily focus on providing general pricing information and ensuring consumers have access to key details about services offered. Establishments must ensure that consumers can obtain clear estimates and understand the costs associated with services; however, they are not mandated to list the total price of a minimum adult service in every advertisement.

Including terms and conditions, a comprehensive list of available merchandise, and promotional offers or discounts is generally encouraged to ensure that potential clients are fully informed about the services and options available to them. These elements can help build trust and clarify what clients can expect, thus promoting an open dialogue between the establishment and the families it serves. The omission of total costs in advertisements allows for flexibility in discussing personalized service plans and pricing at the time of consults without tying the establishment to fixed advertising requirements.
