Which of the following is Not a service that must be itemized according to the FTC Funeral Rule?

The correct answer is that public announcements for services are not a service that must be itemized according to the FTC Funeral Rule. The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral providers to give families an accurate estimate of the cost and itemization of specific services and goods they might procure.

Services like the use of facilities and staff for viewing, coordination of memorial services, and transfer of remains to the funeral home are directly related to the overall funeral service and hence must be clearly itemized on the General Price List (GPL) provided to consumers. This transparency helps families make informed decisions based on their budget and preferences.

On the other hand, public announcements for services, while potentially relevant to the funeral process, do not fall under the category of essential funeral services that need to be itemized according to the Rule. These announcements are typically considered as ancillary services, which may not require the same level of disclosure to consumers as the primary funeral services.
