Under the Funeral Rule, price information must be

• A. Accurate and itemized.
• B. Estimated and vague.
• C. Only the base price.
• D. Not disclosed to consumers.

Answer: (A)

Price information under the Funeral Rule must be accurate and itemized. This means funeral providers must present a General Price List that breaks out the price for every service and every item of merchandise, so nothing is hidden in a single lump sum or vague estimate. The prices should reflect current costs and be provided in writing, allowing consumers to compare exactly what they’re paying for. If prices aren’t clearly stated and itemized, or if there are hidden charges, it defeats the purpose of enabling informed choices and violates the rule.
