What is required for multiple funds in a cemetery?

• A. Only one fund is allowed per cemetery.
• B. Funds must be audited quarterly.
• C. Each cemetery must have a separate fund for each section.
• D. Operators may have multiple funds for one cemetery or use one fund for multiple cemeteries.

Answer: (D)

In Ontario cemetery regulation, funds can be structured with flexibility. Operators may keep more than one fund within a single cemetery to separate money for different purposes (for example, operating costs and endowment or perpetual care). They may also use one fund to cover more than one cemetery if that fits their administrative setup. The key is clear designation and proper accounting so each fund’s intended use is protected and transparent. This flexibility is why having multiple funds for one cemetery or sharing a single fund across cemeteries is permitted.
