As a licensed pre-planner, placing pamphlets about prearranging near a retirement residence is within rights under the FBCSA.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only with written permission from the facility
• D. Allowed only if distributed by licensed staff

Answer: (A)

Understanding outreach rights for licensed pre-planners is key. The FBCSA allows a licensed funeral pre-planner to engage in general marketing and consumer-education activities, including distributing informational pamphlets about prearrangement, in public or semi-public spaces. Placing pamphlets near a retirement residence fits this outreach purpose, as long as you respect the facility’s policies, avoid disruption, and don’t mislead or harass anyone. The act does not require getting written permission from the facility or having pamphlets handed out only by licensed staff. So, the statement is true because informing the public about preplanning is within the demonstrated rights, provided you follow applicable rules and the facility’s own policies.
