What type of arrangements may a licensed funeral director or undertaker arrange on behalf of a customer for final disposition?

• A. Temporary final entombment, or cremation
• B. Permanent burial only
• C. Interstate shipment of remains only
• D. None of the above

Answer: (A)

Final disposition is about how remains are cared for and disposed of under the direction of the funeral professional. A licensed funeral director can arrange options that move toward final disposition, including arrangements that are temporary while plans are finalized. Specifically, they can set up a temporary final entombment or a cremation, handling all the necessary permits, custody, and logistics to carry out those dispositions. This reflects the practical range of arrangements a director can organize for a client’s wishes and legal requirements. Permanently burial is another possible path, but the choice here highlights the two types of arrangements a director can arrange on behalf of a customer—temporary entombment or cremation—rather than options that are restricted to one mode or to interstate shipping alone.
