What is the Casket Price List (CPL) used for?

• A. Casket Price List; printed or typewritten list of caskets and alternative containers normally offered for sale by funeral providers which do not require special ordering. Must include retail price and enough descriptive information to enable consumers to identify merchandise.
• B. Outer Burial Container Price List; list of outer burial containers normally offered for sale by funeral providers which do not require special ordering. Must include retail price and enough descriptive information to enable consumers to identify merchandise.
• C. A bill for services.
• D. General Price List.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is price transparency for caskets. The Casket Price List is the printed or typewritten list of caskets and alternative containers that a funeral provider normally offers for sale without special ordering. It must show the retail prices and include enough descriptive information so customers can identify the merchandise. This helps consumers compare options and understand exactly what is available and how much it costs before making decisions, aligning with the FTC Funeral Rule’s goal of clear, upfront pricing. It’s distinct from the Outer Burial Container Price List (which covers outer containers), from a bill for services, and from the General Price List, which is the broader price disclosure document.
