Will funeral homes accept an Abbey Casket?
In 1994, the Federal Trade Commission ruled that funeral homes may not charge a surcharge or handling fee to those who wish to supply their own casket for funeral arrangements. Since that time, funeral homes have become accustomed to such arrangements. TheFuneral Rule requires funeral homes to agree to use a casket you bought elsewhere.
