The Funeral Rule, enforced by the FTC, makes it possible for you to choose only those goods and services you want or need and to pay only for those you select, whether you are making arrangements when a death occurs or in advance. The Rule allows you to compare prices among funeral homes, and makes it possible for you to select the funeral arrangements you want at the home you use. (The Rule does not apply to third-party sellers, such as casket and monument dealers, or to cemeteries that lack an on-site funeral home.)

The family can transport the casket, but they'll have to get a funeral director's signature on the death cert. in Michigan. I can give you all the details, but it would be much easier in an email exchange with you. Please write to me directly at josh@funerals.org.
