Bill Summary
Relative to the internment of cremated pet remains. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to define "pet cremated remains" and "pet crematorium", and to allow the interment of pet cremated remains in cemetery corporations under certain conditions. Specifically, the interment of pet cremated remains is only permitted if it is incidental to the burial of human remains and the cemetery corporation has provided written authorization. The cemetery corporation must also maintain a list of approved charges for such interment, and the payments received must be deposited in the cemetery corporation's permanent maintenance fund. The bill exempts cemeteries operated by religious corporations or associations from these provisions.
