In relation to price lists, what is required regarding affiliated business names?

Disclosing affiliated business names is crucial for transparency and consumer awareness in the funeral services industry. When a funeral establishment has affiliations with other businesses, it is required by regulations to clearly disclose these names, even if they differ from the establishment’s primary name. This requirement serves to inform consumers about all entities involved in providing services or products, allowing them to make informed choices.

Omitting affiliated business names could mislead consumers, creating a lack of clarity regarding the relationships between businesses and the services they offer. Similarly, merely stating that affiliated names must be similar to the establishment's name does not address the need for clear disclosure if those names differ, which could confuse or mislead clients. Lastly, only disclosing affiliated names upon request does not meet the obligation for proactive transparency that aims to protect consumers’ rights and promote fair practices in the funeral service industry.
