WASHINGTON (ITD The first survey of funeral home prices ever conducted by the federal government showed today that funerals can be bought for as little as $210 but the average buyer, because of price secrecy and lack of competition, may wind up paying closer to $2,000. The survey by the Federal Trade Commission (PTC) involved 56 funeral homes in the District of Columbia, but the agency said the results revealed many of the same problems faced by consumers nationwide.

Officials said the FTC is now considering whether to conduct similar surveys in other cities across the country to stimulate competition and publicize prices. SOME of FTCs findings: The cheapest funeral home service, excluding cemetery costs, ranged from $210 to $900 at individual funeral homes. But many of the homes offering them said they had few takers. Some consumers are not aware of their availability and morticians dont bother to tell them. The expensive funerals are the same as the cheaper ones, except that a costlier casket is involved.

Most homes offer the same basic services and the buyer who thinks he's getting a better funeral for more money is probably just buying a fancier casket. The cheapest funerals involve cloth-covered wood caskets, although some of the cheapest metal caskets cost about the same. The average" basic price charged by homes covered in the survey during 1973 was $1,137, although it ranged to as high as $1,830 at one establishment. Most funeral buyers must pay cemetery costs beyond the funeral home expenses sometimes $750 and this pushed the average total price up to $1,886. Prices for cremations where no viewing of the body is involved beforehand ranged from $80 to $485, with the top-priced firm insisting a casket had to be purchased as well even though FTC said the law doesn't require it.

FTC attributed the wide price variations to a feeble competitive environment." But it said competition and advertising among the homes in the survey has already picked up since the project was started. virrn ASEG5 Krueger-Mal) Whiting-Becrafl MR. AND MRS.
