  • DISCLOSURE OF PRENEED FUNERAL AGREEMENT

  • If the funeral establishment does have a preneed agreement, complete the following:

  •  / /
  • “Preneed Arrangement” “Preneed Agreement” or “Preneed” is written instruction regarding goods or services or both goods and services for final disposition of human remains in which the goods or services are not provided until time of death, and may be unfunded or may be paid for in advance of need. Under Business and Professions Code Sections 7685.6 and 7745, a copy of any preneed agreement made by, or on behalf of the decedent that is paid for in full or in part and is in the possession of the funeral establishment must be disclosed and presented to the survivor of the deceased who is handling the funeral arrangements, or the responsible party.

    Funeral Establishment’s Responsibility — Business and Professions Code Section 7745 requires a funeral establishment to present to the survivor of the decedent or the responsible party a copy of any preneed agreement in its possession which has been signed and paid for in full, or in part by, or on behalf of the deceased. The funeral establishment may present the copy in person, by certified mail, or by facsimile transmission, as agreed upon by the person with the right to control disposition. A funeral establishment that knowingly fails to present a preneed agreement as required is liable for a civil fine equal to three times the cost of the preneed agreement, or one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is greater.
