Who is allowed to sell cemetery rights or services?

• A. Anyone with a business license
• B. Family members of the operator
• C. Only licensed cemetery operators or properly licensed representatives
• D. Government employees only

Answer: (C)

In Ontario, selling cemetery rights or services is regulated so only those with the proper authority can conduct sales. This means a cemetery operator must hold a license, and any person who sells rights or services on behalf of that operator must also be properly licensed as a representative. This creates accountability, ensures proper disclosures, and protects consumers.

A general business license alone isn’t enough to authorize sales of cemetery rights or services. Family members of the operator don’t automatically have licensing authority, and government employees aren’t restricted or designated in this way by default. Therefore, the only settings in which selling cemetery rights or services is allowed are when done by a licensed cemetery operator or by a properly licensed representative acting on behalf of that operator.
