What is the Outer Burial Price List (OBP) used for?

• A. To itemize prices for outer burial containers such as vaults or grave liners
• B. To list the price of each casket
• C. To price cremation services only
• D. To schedule funeral home facility fees

Answer: (A)

The Outer Burial Price List is used to itemize prices for outer burial containers such as vaults or grave liners. This separate price list, required by the FTC Funeral Rule, allows consumers to compare the cost of the outer container that seals the grave, independently of other items like caskets or services. The price of a casket belongs on the General Price List, not the Outer Burial Price List. Cremation services are priced separately and typically appear elsewhere, not in the OBPL. Facility or cemetery fees are disclosed through other price disclosures rather than this specific list.
