What must licensed operators comply with?

• A. The Act and regulations governing funeral, burial, or cremation services.
• B. Only the Act.
• C. Only local bylaws.
• D. None.

Answer: (A)

Licensed operators must follow the provincial Act governing funeral, burial, or cremation services and the regulations made under that Act. The Act sets the broad legal framework, outlining duties, powers, and penalties, while the regulations provide the specifics—licensing requirements, standards of practice, handling of remains, record-keeping, disclosures to clients, and consumer protections. Local bylaws may add requirements related to zoning or municipal licensing, but they do not replace the provincial rules. So compliance with both the Act and its regulations is mandatory.
