Can a licensed insurance agent distribute general price lists for funeral homes?

A licensed insurance agent can indeed distribute general price lists for funeral homes because this practice helps facilitate clear communication between consumers and funeral service providers regarding pricing. General price lists are important because they provide transparency about the costs associated with various funeral services and products, which is a key requirement of the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule.

Allowing licensed insurance agents to distribute these price lists aligns with the goal of making information accessible to consumers, which supports informed decision-making. It’s essential that the agent carries out this task properly, ensuring that the information presented is accurate and complies with regulatory standards.

In this context, the option regarding consent from the funeral director implies a level of oversight or permission that may not be necessary for standard distribution of public information like general price lists. Furthermore, focusing only on specific agents may limit accessibility and miss the broader intent of providing consumers with essential information about funeral costs.
