Which term is described as the service after initial services have been provided by another firm at the locale of death and must be itemized in the GPL?

• A. Funeral Ceremony
• B. Graveside Service
• C. Direct Cremation
• D. Receiving Remains

Answer: (D)

Receiving Remains is the service described when a funeral home takes custody of the deceased after another firm has handled initial arrangements at the location of death. This is a separate service that must be itemized on the General Price List, per the FTC Funeral Rule, so consumers can clearly see and compare what the funeral home is charging for the step of receiving and handling the remains before any further services or disposition. The other options refer to different funeral services or dispositions that don’t describe the specific act of taking charge after another firm’s initial work at the death location, so they aren’t the term that fits this description.
