How long does a seller have to cure a default if the purchaser is behind on payments for a pre-need contract?

In Missouri, if a purchaser is behind on payments for a pre-need funeral contract, the law states that the seller must allow a grace period of 30 days for the purchaser to cure the default. This time frame provides the purchaser with an opportunity to make any missed payments without losing the benefits of the contract. It is designed to ensure fairness in the process, giving the client a reasonable chance to keep their pre-need contract active and fulfill their payment obligations without immediate penalties or termination of the contract. Understanding this timeline is crucial for both consumers and funeral service providers to navigate the contractual responsibilities effectively.
