In the new era of Zoom meetings, the Federal Trade Commission is holding a “public workshop” on September 7th to get further input on Funeral Rule changes that would require funeral homes to post their price lists on line. The workshop will be televised, and interested parties can watch by using this hyperlink. Several months ago, the FTC published notice about the workshop and invited industry members and consumer advocates to participate as panelists. This hyperlink will take readers to the workshop agenda that lists the panelists and the topics to be addressed each hour. We anticipate that the workshop will be recorded and available for viewing at a later date. The FTC will accept comments until October 10th, but those comments should only be addressed to specific issues discussed during the workshop.
