Which set of documents are required by the FTC Funeral Rule to be provided to client families?

• A. Casket Price List, Outer Burial Container Price List, General Price List, Itemized Statement
• B. Casket Price List, General Price List, Itemized Statement, Outer Burial Container Price List
• C. General Price List, Itemized Statement, Service Contract, Casket Price List
• D. Casket Price List, General Price List, Itemized Statement, Funeral Budget

Answer: (A)

The basic requirement is to give families a clear, itemized view of prices and what is included. The FTC Funeral Rule mandates providing a General Price List to all prospective customers, plus specific price lists for items you offer if applicable: a Casket Price List for caskets and an Outer Burial Container Price List for outer burial containers. In addition, for at-need arrangements, you must present an itemized statement that lists every selected service and item with its price.

So the correct set includes these four: General Price List, Casket Price List (if you offer caskets), Outer Burial Container Price List (if you offer outer containers), and the Itemized Statement of Goods and Services. The option that includes exactly these four is the right one. Options that replace or omit any of these with items not required by the rule (like a service contract or a funeral budget) do not fit. The order of the lists doesn’t change the requirement—the four types of documents must be provided.
