Yes, funeral service is regulated by several government agencies. The Alabama Board of Funeral Service monitors internships, gives examinations, and issues licenses to practice in the state of Alabama. The board also adopts administrative rules, based on laws passed by the legislature. The State of Alabama’s Insurance Commission oversees the requirements for trusting money paid to funeral homes for prearranged services, protecting you as the consumer against loss of your investment into these services. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates how funeral prices are presented to the consumer, as well as other consumer trade practices. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors waste discharge. Governmental regulation protects the consumer and employees from unsafe and/or unfair practices and is a part of the overall cost of doing business.
