A: To determine if you can cancel the burial service despite the clause stating a 15-day period, start by reviewing the contract for any exceptions or additional clauses regarding cancellations. Sometimes contracts include special provisions for unexpected situations or changes in plans.

Next, contact the funeral service provider directly. Explain your situation and ask if they can make an exception due to the circumstances. Be clear that your brother's wife has decided to bury him in Texas, which necessitates the cancellation of the Puerto Rico service. Companies may be willing to accommodate such requests, even if the contract's cancellation period has passed.

If the funeral service provider is not willing to cancel the contract, you may consider seeking legal advice to explore any potential consumer rights or local regulations that might support your case. Sometimes, exceptions can be made under extraordinary circumstances, and a legal professional can provide guidance on how to proceed.
