In plain words

Intermediaries such as funeral agents, goods purchasers, planners and hosts, and information advisers must register with the county-level civil affairs department. Those that haven't registered are not in the civil affairs department's funeral service information system. Whether you can check this yourself differs from place to place; the surest way is to call the county civil affairs department. Anyone who charges fees by deception or sells the deceased's information will be dealt with according to law.
