What must be included in the final bill after the completion of the Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected?

  1. Only the items listed initially

  2. Only additions made before the statement

  3. Changes authorized after the statement completion

  4. Nothing should be added

The correct answer is: Changes authorized after the statement completion

The final bill must include any changes that were authorized after the completion of the Statement of Funeral Goods and Services Selected, as well as the original items selected. This ensures that the family receives a complete and accurate accounting of all services and products rendered during the funeral process. Including changes reflects the true costs incurred, maintaining transparency in the transaction. It's essential for the funeral provider to document and clarify these additions to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes about the final charges. Therefore, accurately incorporating changes authorized after the statement is crucial for compliance with industry regulations and ethical practices in funeral service.
