For independent & family funeral homes · 1–5 locations
Be ready for the secret shop before it happens — not after the warning letter.
Send us your current General Price List, casket and outer-burial-container lists, Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected, and who answers your phones. You get back a corrected, gap-scored Funeral Rule Completeness Pack — plus a written phone-disclosure policy, staff attestations, and (on Full) two mystery calls that prove it. You adopt the prices and stay the duty holder; we do the completeness work.
Documentation completeness and training support — not legal advice, and not a substitute for licensed counsel or the NFDA Funeral Rule Offenders Program.Part 453the Funeral Rule your GPL, phone answers, and Statement are measured against
Where homes actually fail
Most Funeral Rule failures aren't dishonest. They're operational.
The FTC's first undercover sweep put callers on the phone, not auditors in the lobby — and the phone is where staff stumble. Then a cremation-menu edit quietly breaks the list structure, and a package sheet goes out where an itemized GPL should. Each is a separate violation exposure at up to $53,088 apiece.
The usual first-offender path, the NFDA-administered FROP program, costs roughly 0.8% of average annual gross sales to the Treasury, plus association fees and three years of monitoring. On $500,000 in sales that's a $4,000 payment — and it only starts after the FTC has already found you.
What lands in your pack
A single, keepable file your director can adopt.
Everything below arrives as one released pack, in the same order every time, with a release memo naming the specialist, the score, and the date.
Gap Scorecard
Your current lists scored against the required 16 CFR Part 453 itemized categories and the six GPL disclosures — before, in plain sight.
Corrected draft lists
Redlined GPL, Casket Price List, Outer Burial Container Price List, and Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected — populated with your prices. We never invent or change a dollar amount.
Telephone-disclosure policy
A plain-language phone-answer script and staff policy built from your confirmed prices, so a caller gets the right answer without giving a name.
Staff attestation kit
One attestation per phone-handling role, so adoption is documented — not assumed.
Mystery-call scorecard Full pack
Two independent mystery calls within 10 business days of adoption, scored on a fixed rubric, with a 14-day remediation loop if a call fails.
Release memo
The completeness record: specialist, checklist score, date, and an explicit scope-and-boundary statement. Yours to keep and hand over.
The lifecycle
Intake → Score → Draft → Release → Mystery Call → Adopt.
Draft pack in 7 business days from complete intake on Full; your free Gap Scorecard in 1 business day.
Send your documents
Upload your GPL, casket and outer-burial-container lists, a blank Statement, your package sheets, and your phone-staff roster to a secure per-location folder.
We extract and score
Our engine reconstructs your lists and checks every required category and disclosure. A deterministic rule set fails closed on anything missing — a machine can't wave it through.
We draft the pack
Corrected lists (your prices only) and a phone policy that matches them.
A specialist releases it
No pack ships below a 95% required-element score. For our first 50 packs, the person who releases is never the person who drafted.
You confirm prices & adopt
You review every price in a diff view and sign adoption. You remain the duty holder — the pack makes that clean, it doesn't take it from you.
We mystery-call and monitor
Two independent calls prove the phone process holds. On Monitor, we re-score after price changes and re-shop each quarter.
Priced as prevention — never by the hour
Per location. A fraction of the program you'd rather avoid.

Guarantee & out-clause
Completeness guarantee: if a released pack scores below 95% on required Rule elements, we rework it free until it passes — before you adopt it. Mystery-call remediation: on Full, a failed post-adoption call gets a 14-day fix-and-re-call at no charge. Monitor is month-to-month. What we don't do: we improve completeness and readiness — we do not and cannot guarantee how the FTC would rule. Not legal advice.
Add-ons: counsel-ready packet prep $350–$600; multi-location clone $499 per additional location. Anchor points: a document-only NFDA member review runs about $250; the FROP path runs to thousands plus three years of monitoring.
Proof, when it's real
We publish results after they exist — not before.
GPLClear is newly launched. These slots fill with real evidence as the first packs ship. We will never invent a testimonial, a client name, or a pass rate.
Straight answers
The questions directors actually ask.
Is this legal advice?
No. GPLClear provides documentation completeness and training support. We are not a law firm, we don't give legal opinions, and we don't represent anyone before the FTC. If you need legal reliance, we prep a counsel-ready packet and route it to a licensed attorney (yours or an affiliate). You adopt the prices and remain the duty holder.
Will you change my prices?
Never without your written confirmation. Our engine copies your prices verbatim and is blocked from altering a dollar amount. You review every price in a diff view and sign adoption before anything is final.
How is this different from the NFDA document review?
The NFDA member review (about $250) reads your lists once. It doesn't write your telephone-disclosure policy, doesn't produce staff attestations, and doesn't run mystery calls — which is exactly where the FTC's sweep found failures. We do the phone and ops layer, with a released SLA and ongoing monitoring, and we're glad to hand legal-reliance work to counsel.
What are the mystery calls, and is recording legal?
Two independent callers phone your staff within 10 business days of adoption and score the answers on a fixed rubric. We only run calls with your written permission to evaluate your own staff, and we record only where and how applicable state consent law allows.
We're a two-location home. Does that help or hurt?
It's exactly the case this is built for. We clone a released Full pack to your second location for $499, so both homes — and both phone scripts — stay in step when prices change.
Do I have to publish prices online?
Not for this. The Rule has been under FTC review since November 2022 and online price disclosure remains unresolved. We structure your pack so web publishing is a later add-on module if it's ever required — not something you scramble for now.

The boundary, stated plainly
What GPLClear is — and isn't.
GPLClear extracts, scores, drafts, and assembles an audit-ready completeness file, and runs mystery calls with your permission. GPLClear does not give legal opinions, does not claim any document is "FTC-approved," and does not represent you before the FTC. A compliance specialist releases each pack against an internal Rule checklist; a licensed attorney handles any legal-reliance sign-off. State funeral-board licensing and preneed-trust rules are separate and are not replaced by anything here. The funeral director adopts prices, trains staff, distributes the GPL, and remains the duty holder. This page is information, not legal advice.
