What must every crematory contract include?

Every crematory contract is required to include a breakdown of all items in the service. This is crucial for transparency and allows the consumer to understand exactly what services they are paying for. It typically encompasses specific details such as the types of cremation services offered, any additional services such as transport or memorialization, and the costs associated with each item. Providing this detailed breakdown helps customers make informed decisions and ensures that they are aware of all aspects related to the cremation process.

While including total contract price, terms of service, warranty, and general company information are important components of a contract, they do not hold the same weight in terms of legal requirements in a crematory context as the detailed breakdown. The emphasis on the breakdown of items ensures that clients are fully informed and can evaluate their options appropriately, aligning with California's regulations aimed at protecting consumers in the funeral industry.
