Georgia State Board of Funeral Service Practice Exam

Which of the following actions is NOT considered as soliciting?

1. Sending flyers to potential clients

2. Making unsolicited calls for service information

3. Creating a website to inform the public about services

4. Directly approaching families in mourning for service sales

The correct answer is: Creating a website to inform the public about services

The action of creating a website to inform the public about services is not considered soliciting because it represents a passive approach to providing information. A website serves as a resource that offers details about services available, allowing potential clients to access information at their convenience. This method does not involve direct outreach or attempts to sell services aggressively, which is a key characteristic of soliciting. In contrast, sending flyers, making unsolicited calls, and directly approaching families in mourning all involve proactive communication efforts aimed directly at generating business. These actions are typically viewed as soliciting because they seek to engage potential clients in a manner that may be intrusive or unwelcome, particularly during times of grief.
