What should the Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected NOT include?

  1. Payment terms

  2. Details of the deceased's life

  3. A breakdown of charges

  4. Cash disbursements paid by the family

The correct answer is: Details of the deceased's life

The Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected is a crucial document provided by funeral service providers that outlines the specific goods and services chosen by the family for a funeral arrangement. This document is primarily focused on the financial aspects of the services rendered. It is intended to ensure clarity and transparency regarding the costs involved in the funeral process. Including details about the deceased's life is not standard practice for this statement. Such personal information is typically shared during memorial services, obituaries, or other commemorative forms, rather than in a statement meant for financial disclosure. Therefore, focusing on the financial components—such as payment terms, a breakdown of charges, and any cash disbursements—is essential, while biographical details do not pertain to the financial transaction and can distract from the main purpose of the document.
