In plain language

The bill requires clear disclosure of additional cemetery costs in sales contracts.

This legislation amends the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery Sales Act to mandate that sales contracts include details about any known additional costs for cemetery services or merchandise. This ensures that consumers are informed of all potential expenses at the time of burial.

What this means for you
  • Consumers: This means consumers will receive more detailed information about potential extra costs when purchasing cemetery services or merchandise.

Summary
