Funeral Homes Face Competition from Third Party Company

McHenry, Illinois (Vocus/PRWEB) January 27, 2011

Funeral products that were once only offered through funeral homes are now available to be purchased from third party companies like Star Legacy Funeral Network, Inc. (http://www.starlegacynetwork.com). Retailers like Star Legacy offer those grieving over a lost loved one convenience and savings during a vulnerable time on caskets, urns, keepsakes, and a host of funeral products and services.


?Star Legacy?s mission is to assist its customers ? both emotionally and financially ? during their time of need and stress with low prices, advice and customer service,? says a representative from Star Legacy. Their American made caskets are shipped via FedEx and can be delivered 365 days a year with next or second day delivery (excepting holidays). Star Legacy can save their clients and customers thousands of dollars over funeral home prices. In fact, Star Legacy?s prices are 50% to 70% below funeral home pricing and includes delivery. Star Legacy also offers unique ways to remember a loved one with such services such as memorial space flights were they have the ability to send your loved ones remains into outer space if requested; or, creating diamonds by extracting carbon DNA from a deceased?s cremated remains.


The funeral industry is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces rules that ensures a customer?s right to purchase these products from retailers other than funeral homes. These rules give customers the right to purchase a casket from a third party retailer, the right be provided with a price list of all products and services provided by the funeral home, and the right to choose which funeral services they do and do not want. The rules also state that funeral homes must accept third party caskets, allowing Star Legacy to ship directly to the funeral home.


At Star Legacy Funeral Network they encourage their customers to visit the Federal Trade Commission website to learn more about their rights. Please visit the FTC at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/rulemaking/funeral/index.shtm.
