FTC “Red Flag” Regulations
If your funeral home undertakes any of the following actions, it must institute and approve an identity theft prevention program by November 1, 2009:

1. Regularly enters into arrangements with at-need or pre-need consumers that allow them to pay for funerals in multiple installments.

2. Regularly sells pre-need insurance policies as an agent for an insurance company that allows a consumer to purchase the policy through multiple installment payments.

3. Regularly refers consumers to consumer financing companies that extend credit to consumers to purchase funerals.

There are two links below.  One is the Business Alert regarding the New "Red Flag" requirements and one is a "How-To Guide for Business" that will assist you in complying with this.
