What is typically included in funeral home merchandising?

Funeral home merchandising primarily encompasses the offering of caskets, urns, and various other funeral goods that are essential for memorialization and honoring the deceased. This includes a wide range of products that families can choose from when planning services, as these items are integral to the funeral process. Caskets and urns serve not only practical purposes but also play a significant role in the personalization of funeral services, allowing families to select items that reflect the personality and values of their loved ones.

While bereavement counseling, managing burial plots, and selling flowers may be part of the broader services a funeral home can provide, they do not fall under the specific umbrella of merchandising. Counseling typically addresses emotional support instead of tangible goods, managing burial plots involves real estate and logistics separate from merchandising, and flowers are a smaller aspect of what a funeral home may offer in terms of merchandise. Therefore, option A accurately describes the primary focus of funeral home merchandising.
