What is the minimum age requirement for a purchaser of a funeral services contract in Ontario?

In Ontario, the minimum age requirement for a purchaser of a funeral services contract is 18 years old. This age is set to ensure that individuals entering into such contracts have reached the legal age of majority, at which point they are considered capable of making informed decisions regarding financial agreements. The law recognizes that individuals under the age of 18 may lack the maturity or experience necessary to understand the full implications of a funeral services contract. By establishing the requirement at 18, the legislation aims to protect both parties involved in the transaction, ensuring that the purchaser has the legal authority to enter into the agreement and is able to engage fully with the contractual terms.
