Pre-paid funeral service contracts protected

Ernie McLean, Minister of Government Services and Lands, said today all consumers who have contracted for pre-paid funeral services are protected as a result of the new Pre-paid Funeral Services Act passed during the last session of the House of Assembly.

Mr. McLean said: "With respect to Ford�s Funeral Home in Port aux Basques, we are working closely with the funeral industry to ensure that all prepaid funeral service contracts are honoured.

"Government is also in the process of contacting all affected individuals to provide them with this assurance.

"The funeral service industry has also advised us that it will promptly respond to the wishes of individual families should there be any immediate needs."
