Your rights — they're federal law
Since 1984, the FTC Funeral Rule has protected every family. Most people have never been told. Elly remembers them for you — each card has gentle words you can use. This is general information, not legal advice — details here.
Why prices vary so much
For the very same service — the same care, the same licensing, the same respect — prices in one area can differ by three to five times. Not because of quality, but because most families understandably never compare. Typical ranges:
Why an elephant? Elephants stay with their dead. They return, they remember, they grieve together — and an elephant never forgets. That's why The Right Goodbye's guide is Elly the elephant: she remembers the prices, the rules, and the questions, so that you can stay with what matters.
One right worth knowing today
By federal law, a funeral home must accept a casket or urn you purchase anywhere — and may not charge a fee for it. The same item often costs three to five times less outside the showroom. It's the single largest saving available to most families.

Your family's, completely. The Right Goodbye is not a funeral home, and we accept no placement fees from funeral homes — so no one can pay to be recommended. Our price ranges come from the itemized price lists funeral homes are required by federal law to provide, from published surveys, and from families who share their quotes with us. If we ever earn anything — for example, when a family chooses a provider or a service through us — we'll say so plainly, right where it happens.
