Which of the following is one of the six items that must be on the GPL when the funeral home provides all goods and services?

• A. Consumer right to select only the goods and services desired.
• B. Embalming.
• C. Alternative containers for direct cremation.
• D. Basic service fee.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the FTC Funeral Rule requires the General Price List to clearly communicate the consumer’s rights, including the right to choose only the goods and services they want. This protects buyers from being pushed into unwanted items and ensures they can compare prices easily. One of the six items that must be included on the GPL is this rights statement, so consumers understand they aren’t obligated to purchase everything bundled together.

While embalming, alternative containers for direct cremation, and the basic service fee are real price items that would appear on the GPL when those services are offered, the specific “six items” requirement highlighted here includes the consumer’s right to select only the desired goods and services.
