Funeral homes are licensed by the state in which they operate and are usually regulated by some kind of state regulatory organization or board. They are also subject to the funeral industry's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations. The Funeral Rule is intended to protect consumers from being pressured into purchasing items they don't need and to ensure that funeral homes provide transparent pricing. Funeral homes are now owned and operated by either a family or a group of private individuals or by a corporation such as Service Corporation International (SCI), StoneMor, or Carriage Services. Funeral homes plan services by the wishes of survivors, whether immediate next of kin or an executor named in a legal will. The funeral home frequently handles the necessary paperwork, permits, and other details, such as arranging with the cemetery and distributing obituaries to the news media. The funeral industry has a long history dating back to the time when the Egyptians mastered the science of preservation. Many funeral homes have started posting obituaries online and using materials submitted by families to create memorial websites in recent years. In North America, certain types of services are common. A traditional funeral service includes a viewing, a funeral service in a church or a funeral home chapel, and a graveside committal service.
