The material of the casket's exterior must be indicated in the description.

• A. False
• B. It may be omitted for standard finishes
• C. It must be stated only for custom orders
• D. It must be indicated in the description

Answer: (D)

Transparency in product descriptions under the FTC Funeral Rule requires that the exterior material of a casket be clearly stated in the description. This detail helps consumers accurately compare options and understand exactly what they are purchasing, preventing misrepresentation. The rule applies to all caskets, not just custom orders, and it isn’t waived if a finish is standard. Because of this, the material of the exterior must be indicated in the description.
