The FTC Funeral Rule lets you buy headstones online. Saved $1k+ avoiding the cemetery markup.

Just found out that under the FTC Funeral Rule, cemeteries cannot refuse a headstone you bought online or charge you a 'third-party' fee to accept it.

They tried to quote me $3,000 for a standard marker, but I found the exact same high-quality granite online at Legacy Headstones for half that.

Don't let them pressure you into 'package deals' during a hard time. Check your local regulations first!
