What is prohibited in terms of solicitation?

• A. No price quotes without consent.
• B. No solicitation rules apply at all.
• C. No unsolicited sales calls or in-person sales.
• D. No online advertising.

Answer: (C)

In Ontario, the rules about soliciting cemetery or funeral services focus on protecting the public from unsolicited, pressure-filled sales tactics. The prohibition specifically targets direct contact to sell services or cemetery products without the person first asking for information. So, you cannot make unsolicited sales calls or do in-person sales discussions with someone who hasn’t requested information. If a consumer initiates contact or requests details, discussion and pricing can proceed within the regulatory framework.

That’s why this option is the best choice: it directly states the prohibition on unsolicited sales calls or in-person sales. The other statements don’t fit the practice: solicitation rules aren’t absent, online advertising isn’t categorically banned, and price quotes aren’t universally prohibited without consent—consent or consumer initiation typically governs those interactions.
