Which statement best reflects the rule on false advertising in cemetery services?

• A. Advertising is prohibited if false
• B. Advertising is allowed with a warning
• C. Advertising can be corrected but allowed
• D. Advertising is not regulated

Answer: (A)

Advertising in cemetery services must be truthful and not misleading. If a claim in an advertisement is false, the regulation prohibits using that advertisement at all. The rule is in place to protect consumers from deceptive marketing and to help them compare services accurately. Allowing a warning or a post‑advertisement correction would not undo the fact that the original false claim was presented to the public. It’s also not accurate to say advertising isn’t regulated, since there are clear standards against false or misleading advertising. So the best statement is that advertising is prohibited if false.
