This law says that if someone regularly buys, sells, leases, or exchanges cemetery property or services, or if they help others do these things, they are considered a cemetery broker or cemetery salesperson.

If you're paying someone for cemetery brokerage services, make sure they show proof they're licensed. Failing to do this is a minor crime, costing up to $100 each time.

Basically, it's about preventing dishonest practices in cemetery brokerage and making sure that all communications are truthful.
