If you purchased a funeral or a casket from a corperate funeral home in the past couple of years you might be able to get a refund of part of your money, you were over-charged. according to FTC’s fair trade laws (Clayton Act) which states that a corperation engaged in interstate business must charge all customers the same prices for goods and services. Also they can not condition the sale of a casket to the sale of a services. Funeral homes have started lowering their prices to wipe out the small family operated funeral homes or casket stores. This means that if you went in to a corp. funeral (like SCI) and told them you saw prices for the graveside service at the small place for $1500 and they were trying to charge $5000 for the same service the corp. would drop their price to match it. So what should happen is the guy who just paid $5000 should get $3500 refund. If you were the poor guy that got charged $5000 You need to have your Atty file to get your money back. A class action lawsuit should be worth billions.
