What must a cemetery contract clearly state?

A cemetery contract must include an itemized statement of charges to ensure transparency and clarity regarding the specific services and goods being provided. This detailed breakdown allows consumers to understand exactly what they are paying for, helping to build trust and prevent disputes related to costs. An itemized statement can also indicate any optional services or specific fees that may apply, providing valuable information to the purchaser.

While the total contract price and terms of payment are important, they do not give the consumer the same level of detail or understanding about what exactly is being purchased. Including an itemized statement of charges is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, aimed at protecting consumers and ensuring that they are fully informed about their purchases in a cemetery setting.
