assessments specified therein.

(b) No burial association licensed pursuant to the provisions of

this act shall issue more than one burial agreement providing a Two

Hundred Dollar ($200.00) benefit or more than two burial agreements

each providing a One Hundred Dollar ($100.00) benefit covering a

family, or any member thereof; nor issue a burial agreement covering

a family, or any member thereof, who are covered by a burial

agreement issued by another burial association and the application

form prescribed by the Board shall contain an interrogatory as to

whether the family, or any member thereof, is so covered by such an

agreement; provided, however, nothing in this act shall prohibit,

and any burial association is hereby authorized, to issue an

agreement to a family for the purpose of replacing an agreement

theretofore issued by another burial association, and provided

further such in lieu agreement shall at least provide the same

benefits and coverage to the family as the agreement replaced.

than one agreement issued by one burial association the

burial benefit equal to twice the benefit specified in the Articles

of Agreement as provided in Section 5 of this act, regardless of the

number of burial agreements issued by the said burial association

and covering such person, and the burial association is hereby

prohibited from providing a burial benefit in excess thereof. In

the event of the death of a person who is covered by more than one

agreement issued by more than one burial association the agreement

holder shall elect as to which association he shall make claim for

the burial benefit; the association which is not so elected shall

have no liability to provide the burial benefit and is hereby

prohibited from providing any burial benefit.
