Which term describes the act of buying and displaying funeral merchandise?

• A. Memorial
• B. Merchandising
• C. Median
• D. Mode

Answer: (B)

The act of buying and displaying funeral merchandise is merchandising. In a funeral home, merchandising covers selecting the product mix (such as caskets, urns, vaults, and related items), purchasing those items, and arranging showroom displays so families can see and compare options. It also includes price setting and presenting products in a way that helps families make informed decisions during a difficult time.

Memorial refers to remembrance or tribute activities and items, which is not the process of acquiring and presenting goods. Median and mode are statistical terms describing data patterns, not anything to do with how funeral merchandise is bought or shown.
