Can you communicate information to a law enforcement agency or a lawyer?

• A. Yes, but only when required and only to a lawyer of a person named on the contract.
• B. Yes, freely with any lawyer.
• C. No, never allowed.
• D. Yes, but only when requested by the authorities.

Answer: (C)

Confidentiality of client information is central. In funeral pre-planner jurisprudence, information collected from clients is treated as confidential and should not be shared with law enforcement or lawyers unless there is explicit client consent or a valid legal obligation. Since the question frames sharing as not allowed in the absence of those conditions, the option stating that disclosure is never allowed best matches this strict confidentiality principle. The other options imply scenarios where disclosure could occur—only to a specific lawyer, freely to any lawyer, or only when authorities request—which contradict the required safeguard set by the context. In real practice, you would handle any exception (consent or a legal mandate), but within this framing, non-disclosure is the correct stance.
