Children and Infants Funeral service providers can set different prices for funeral arrangements for children and infants. If the funeral service provider prepares a separate price list, they are not required to give them out to anyone except those persons inquiring about a funeral for a child or an infant. When entering into such arrangements, funeral service providers must follow all Funeral Rule requirements, including giving price lists to the government agent at the time they make or discuss such arrangements. Prices for these special situations can be added to the regular price list, or shown on a separate price list. If a separate price list is used, it's not necessary for the funeral service provider to make it available to anyone other than the government agency or individuals who qualify for the special arrangements.
Some government agencies choose to contract for funeral arrangements on a package basis.
Funeral service providers can offer funeral arrangements to anyone including a government agency on a package basis, as long as the funeral packages are offered in addition to, not in place of, itemized prices. When qualifying persons inquire about these package funeral arrangements, the funeral service provider should still provide the GPL, with itemized prices and disclosures, and comply with all other Funeral Rule requirements at this time. Some funeral providers enter into agreements with religious groups, burial societies, or memorial societies to arrange funerals for their members at special prices. They are allowed to enter into such arrangements, but must still comply with all Funeral Rule requirements. They must provide price lists to representatives of these groups when they inquire about funeral arrangements on behalf of their members.
