The Federal Trade Commission is currently accepting comments on an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) related to the Funeral Industry Practices Rule (Funeral Rule). The ICCFA is preparing comments and will be providing members with an overview of the issues and the Association’s stance on each issue on which the FTC is requesting comment. Along with our comments, the ICCFA strongly encourages its members to submit comments individually to the FTC, as well as send a copy of those comments to their specific members of Congress (House representative and two senators). The ICCFA is putting together resources that will be available by early December so members can draft their individual comments. The comment period began November 2, 2022 and is open until January 3, 2023. All comments must be received by 11:59 PM EST on January 3, 2023. For more information, comments, or questions contact ICCFA’s General Counsel Poul Lemasters at poul@iccfa.com.
