The article discusses the results of an analysis of the preneed funeral statutes and regulations in each of the 10 provinces in Canada in 2010 completed by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), in conjunction with the Funeral Service Association of Canada. It notes the creation of a preneed law report card, that looks at seven key consumer protection features being recommended by NFDA to be part of every preneed regulatory scheme, as part of the study. It also presents a chart comparing the provinces' preneed laws with NFDA guidelines.
