The Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO)
The Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) is a not-for-profit corporation, responsible for administering provisions of the
Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002 and associated regulations on behalf of the Ontario government.
The BAO was established as a delegated administrative authority (DAA) on January 16, 2016 under the
Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996. The delegation to the BAO occurred as a result of the mutual desire of the Ontario government and the bereavement industry to enhance professionalism, increase consumer protection and provide an effective, efficient and responsive regulatory framework.
As the single regulator for the entire bereavement sector in Ontario, the Bereavement Authority of Ontario provides a more effective one-window approach for both licensees and consumers. Consumers now have a single point of contact for any questions or complaints they may have about funeral and transfer services or cemetery and crematorium services.
