Funeral homes may soon be forced to post prices online: 'People are at their most vulnerable when they're grieving'

• Funeral homes must provide pricing information in person and over the phone under federal regulation. 
• But the rule, adopted in 1984, didn't account for the dawn of the internet age. 
• Now, the Federal Trade Commission is looking to broaden transparency for funeral pricing. 

Funeral homes may have to disclose their prices online, as the federal government works to crack down on business practices that may exploit grieving families.
