What wording must be used in the required disclosures for the general price list (GPL)?

The required disclosures for the general price list (GPL) need to adhere to the identical wording mandated in the FTC Funeral Rule. This requirement is in place to ensure transparency and standardization across the funeral industry, thereby allowing consumers to make informed choices without ambiguity. The FTC Funeral Rule establishes clear guidelines that protect consumers by mandating that funeral providers disclose pricing and related information in a manner that is uniform and easily understandable.

By using the mandated wording, funeral providers can ensure compliance with federal regulations, which helps to establish trust with consumers. This standardization also facilitates the comparison of services and prices between different providers, empowering consumers to make better-informed decisions regarding their funeral arrangements.

The other options do not align with these federal requirements and could lead to misunderstandings or non-compliance with regulatory standards, impacting the integrity of the information provided to potential clients.
