What should a practitioner do if a consumer refuses to sign the Statement?

The consumer must be forced to sign
The practitioner should sign by proxy
The transaction should be canceled
No action should be taken

The correct answer is: The practitioner should sign by proxy

In the context of mortuary science and consumer agreements, if a consumer refuses to sign the Statement, the appropriate action for a practitioner is to address the situation with sensitivity and professionalism. Signing by proxy is a valid approach if permitted by regulations or company policy, allowing the process to continue while respecting the consumer's wishes and maintaining legal compliance. This can be particularly relevant in situations where the consumer may be uncomfortable or unable to sign due to circumstances such as emotional distress or lack of understanding of the documents. When consumers refuse to sign, it’s crucial to ensure that their rights and preferences are respected rather than forcing them into signing or prematurely terminating the transaction. By signing by proxy, the practitioner can help facilitate the necessary arrangements and maintain service continuity without diminishing the consumer's autonomy.
