FTC publishes funeral-product disclosure guidance for its stated scope. A manufacturer can define an original document task that preserves the material and component descriptions in its own product records. FTC funeral-product context

Create fictional product cards, a component list and neutral illustrations. Give the exterior finish and interior lining separate references. Ask which declarations support the selected variant. Include a material statement covering only one component and an obsolete product card with a similar model name. The key should retain component scope and effective version.

Annotate variant, exterior, lining, declared material, source owner and record revision. Hold out a new card layout for evaluation. Score an exterior appearance used as proof of underlying construction, one component statement applied to the whole article and the old card selected independently. Include a complete supported case alongside missing-evidence examples.

Use original illustrations and invented declarations. Customer information, licensed designs, supplier documents and commissioned artwork require appropriate authority. A licensing brief should identify the scope-reading task and independently checked key, with the applicable business context reviewed by an appropriate specialist. Confirm buyer requirements before preparing commercial archives or authorized capture.

Original Fiund exercise

The exterior card does not describe every component

Original neutral illustrations and fictional material declarations contain no personal or funeral records.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1Product cardModel C4 lists shell material X.
2Component listC4 includes shell S2, liner L7 and handles H3.
3Source declarationDocument D8 covers shell S2 only.

Question for the model

Where can D8 be cited?

Show the reference answer and checks

D8 applies to the S2 shell in records 2 and 3 and can be linked at that level. It does not identify L7 or H3 materials. Record 1 also scopes its claim to the shell, so do not recast the assembly as entirely material X.

  • Applying the exterior material to the whole product
  • Assuming a declaration includes omitted parts

Fields to preserve

component_role
Separates shell, liner and hardware
material_statement_scope
Limits the evidence
assembly_id
Links the component to its product without expanding scope

Test another case

Add an optional handle variant and confirm the shell evidence does not depend on that option.

No funeral records, real products, environmental assertions or consumer advice.
