Who is responsible for the accuracy of information provided in the Seller's Report?

The seller is responsible for the accuracy of the information provided in the Seller's Report. In the context of funeral service regulations, the Seller's Report is a critical document that contains details relating to preneed funeral contracts and services. It is the seller's duty to ensure that all information included in this report is truthful, complete, and reflective of the services being offered. This responsibility is crucial because the accuracy of this documentation can affect consumer trust, financial transactions, and compliance with regulatory standards.

The local licensing authority and the board's inspector play roles in overseeing and regulating practices within the funeral industry; however, they do not bear the direct responsibility for verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the Seller's Report. Instead, their focus is more on compliance and enforcement. The preneed agency may facilitate or participate in the preneed planning process, but ultimately, the burden of providing accurate information lies with the seller, who has firsthand access to the relevant details and is in a position to ensure their correctness.
