  • Make sure you are dealing with a licensed Provider

  • Before signing a contract, ensure the Provider has given you a copy of the price list

  • Make sure the contract has details about the things you have agreed to buy or rent, such as:

    • Services, facilities and vehicles

    • Casket, urn, vault, grave, crypt, niche or monument

    • Any other payments (for newspaper notices, police escorts, honorarium for religious officials, catering, etc.)

    • Any applicable taxes and commissions or benefits the Provider will receive for referrals

  • If the supplies and services you have purchased are not available at the time of need, you must be provided with supplies and services of equivalent value, at no additional cost
