What is the anti-speculation rule?

• A. Encourages investment in cemetery property.
• B. Applies to all rights equally regardless of intent.
• C. Prohibits buying burial/scattering rights primarily for profit.
• D. Allows speculative trading of rights.

Answer: (C)

The anti-speculation rule is about preventing profits from buying cemetery burial rights or scattering rights. Regulators implement it to stop purchases made primarily to flip for a quick profit, which could unfairly inflate costs or limit access for people who actually intend to use the rights. It’s not about encouraging investment or allowing trading for profit; it targets the primary motive of profit in acquiring these rights and aims to keep them available and affordable for their intended use.
