The General Price List (GPL) is described as which?

• A. A list of cash advance items.
• B. General Price List; list of goods and services offered for sale with retail prices; keystone of the Funeral Rule.
• C. A list of goods and services with no prices.
• D. A government price list.

Answer: (B)

The General Price List is the official pricing document a funeral home must provide. It lists every goods and services the provider offers for sale and shows the retail price for each item, so families can see exactly what they’re paying for and compare costs across providers. This transparency is the core purpose of the Funeral Rule, making the GPL the central pricing disclosure that helps prevent hidden fees. The list covers the full range of offerings—basic service fees, transportation, embalming, preparation, facilities, caskets, outer burial containers, cremation services, and cash-advance items—each with its price, and it must be given at first contact and kept up to date. It is not merely a list of cash advances, nor a price list without prices, nor a government price list.
