The Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected must detail what kind of charges?

  1. Only the final settlement charge

  2. Charges related to goods only

  3. All charges related to the funeral

  4. Only charges for embalming services

The correct answer is: All charges related to the funeral

The Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected is an important document required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Funeral Rule. It is intended to provide transparency and to ensure that consumers are fully informed about the costs associated with a funeral service. The correct response emphasizes that this statement must detail all charges related to the funeral. This includes not only the cost of goods like caskets and urns but also services rendered such as preparation, use of facilities, transportation, and any other associated fees. By providing a comprehensive list of all charges, the document enables the consumer to make informed decisions based on their needs and budget. This approach protects the consumer’s rights and allows for a clearer understanding of the total costs involved in funeral arrangements. Other options are too narrow in focus, as they only consider specific aspects of the charges rather than providing a complete picture, which is crucial for a well-informed decision.
