NEW YORK — Dozens of funeral homes across the country, including a few in the Tri-State Area, are being warned after allegedly misleading customers about pricing.
The Federal Trade Commission says it conducted its first undercover phone sweep of more than 250 funeral homes.
Thirty-eight of them failed the Funeral Rule by refusing to answer questions about pricing or gave inconsistent pricing for identical services.
Funeral homes in the Tri-State Area include:
- Byles-MacDougall Funeral Home in New London, Connecticut,
- Woyasz & Son Funeral Service in Norwich, Connecticut,
- Ruby Memorial in North Brunswick, New Jersey,
- Wimberg Funeral Home in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey,
- And Lynch Funeral Home Inc. in Horseheads, New York.
Several funeral homes in Philadelphia were also sent warning letters.
