How do I choose a funeral home or cremation provider in Indiana?

Get prices from two or three providers near you. They have to give you prices over the phone.
Ask what the direct cremation price includes: picking up the body, the container, the cremation and the return of the ashes.
If you want a viewing or a service, ask for the General Price List and price each item.
Ask whether there's a mileage charge if the provider is some distance away.

What does the FTC Funeral Rule require?

Every funeral home in the US has to follow the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule. In practice that means:

Funeral directors must give you price information on the telephone if you ask for it.
The funeral home must give you a General Price List that is yours to keep, listing every item and service it offers and the cost of each.
You may choose direct cremation, which does not require any form of preservation.
No state or local law requires a casket for cremation, and a funeral home that offers cremation must tell you alternative containers are available and make them available.
