What term describes the disposition of human remains by burial without formal viewing, visitation or ceremony with the body present, except for a graveside service?

• A. Indirect lighting
• B. Inner panels
• C. Immediate Burial
• D. Indirect selection room procedure

Answer: (C)

Immediate burial is the term for burying the body soon after death with little to no viewing, visitation, or formal ceremony with the body present. In this approach, the body is prepared and buried without the traditional funeral service at the funeral home, and any service is typically a graveside or memorial event held separately from the viewing. This matches the description of a burial without a formal viewing or ceremony with the body present, except for a graveside service.

The other terms relate to different aspects of funeral home operations or design and do not describe how the remains are disposed. Indirect lighting refers to lighting design, inner panels to parts of a casket or display, and indirect selection room procedure to processes in the selection room.
