In how many occasions must the General Price List (GPL) be presented?

The General Price List (GPL) must be presented to consumers on multiple occasions as part of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Funeral Rule regulations, which aim to ensure transparency and inform consumers about pricing before making decisions regarding funeral services.

The correct number of occasions is three. The GPL must be presented when a family first makes contact for funeral arrangements, during the planning meeting when detailed discussions are taking place about services, and again before the family makes any decision regarding which services they will select. This requirement is designed to provide consumers with clear and comprehensive information, allowing them to make informed choices about the services they are purchasing. Presenting the GPL at these key moments helps to foster trust and clarity in the funeral planning process.
