Ohio Code § 4717.34

§ 4717.34.

(A) Any purchaser, on initially entering into a preneed funeral contract may, within

seven days after entering into that contract, rescind the contract and request and

receive from the seller of the contract one hundred per cent of all payments made

under the contract.  Each preneed funeral contract shall contain the following notice in boldface print

and in substantially the following form: “NOTICE:  Under Ohio law, you, as the purchaser of this contract, may rescind it and

receive a refund of all payments you made under the contract.  To rescind the contract, you must notify the seller within seven days of signing

the contract.” (B) No preneed funeral contract shall contain a provision that restricts the purchaser

from making the contract irrevocable.  On the purchase by an individual of an irrevocable preneed funeral contract, the

funeral director who sold the contract assumes the legal obligation to provide for

the funeral of the individual pursuant to the terms of the contract.  No money deposited in a trust fund for an irrevocable preneed funeral contract shall

be withdrawn to purchase an insurance policy or annuity, except that a trustee may

use money in the trust fund to purchase a life insurance policy or annuity as an investment

for the trust fund.
