Which term involves the forwarding of remains, including transfer to another funeral provider chosen by the family?

• A. Alternative Price Lists
• B. Direct Cremation
• C. Receiving Remains
• D. Forwarding of Remains

Answer: (D)

Forwarding of remains is the process of sending the decedent's remains to another funeral provider that the family has chosen. It involves arranging transportation and any necessary preparation so the receiving facility can properly care for the remains, and the original funeral home coordinates the transfer and provides a clear price for this service. This term is different from receiving remains, which is when a funeral home takes in remains from another provider; direct cremation refers to cremating the body with minimal ceremony, and Alternative Price Lists are the separate disclosures of pricing options for different service combinations.
