• C. Yes, but only if the client requests it.
• D. Yes, a copy of the price list must be provided before entering a contract.

Answer: (D)

Price transparency before contract formation is required in funeral service practice. Clients must receive a copy of the General Price List (or equivalent price disclosure) before they sign any agreement. This ensures they can review all costs, compare options, and avoid surprise charges, supporting informed decision-making and compliance with consumer protection rules. The obligation isn’t optional, nor is it satisfied only after a contract is signed or only if the client asks for it—the price list should be provided up front so the client can evaluate arrangements before committing.
