Purpose


Section 497.282(9), F.S., requires licensees to display and provide to all potential customers a brochure explaining how and by whom cemeteries and preneed sales are regulated, summarizing consumer rights, and providing the address and phone number of the Division of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services. The format and content of the brochure shall be prescribed by rule. Section 497.282(9), F.S., authorizes the Department to publish such brochures and to require cemetery and preneed licensees to purchase and make such brochures available in the licensee's offices to all potential customers. The proposed rule implements this statutory provision by adopting the consumer brochure as a form.
