The Statement of Funeral Goods and Services is an itemized written statement provided for retention to whom?

• A. A notice posted in the lobby.
• B. A bill for prepaid arrangements only.
• C. A generic estimate with no itemization.
• D. Itemized written statement for retention to each person who arranges a funeral or other disposition; includes goods and services selected, prices paid for each, itemization of cash advance items and total cost.

Answer: (D)

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, the Statement of Funeral Goods and Services must be given to the person who arranges the funeral and kept for their records. It is an itemized written statement that lists every goods and service selected, shows the price for each item, includes any cash advance items, and provides the total cost. This ensures transparency and lets the consumer compare costs while having a record of what was arranged. Not a lobby notice, not limited to prepaid arrangements, and not a generic non-itemized estimate.
