FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manitoba Funeral Service Association to stand with The Public Utilities Board To Find A Resolution
WINNIPEG (22/01/2010)— The Public Utilities Board (PUB) has made the Manitoba Funeral Service Association (Association) aware of the financial difficulties of Russell Funeral Home, located in Beausejour. The situation involves a number of pre-need funeral service contracts where funds required to be placed in trust were not, placing the purchasers of these contracts in potential jeopardy.
The Association is committed to working with PUB towards ensuring services paid for are rendered as required. The Association and PUB are reviewing the situation and working towards a satisfactory resolution for the clients of Russell Funeral Home.
Every effort will be made to provide the type of services requested in these contracts.
PUB will contact potentially affected contract holders with details once a solution to the problem has been arrived at and put in place.
