Bill Summary

Relative to the operation of crematories by funeral establishments. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill allows funeral establishments that are licensed by the Board of Registration in Embalming and Funeral Directing to own and operate a crematory, and it permits funeral directors who are licensed in the municipality where they reside to serve on the cemetery board. The bill also clarifies that a person or organization owning a funeral establishment cannot own a cemetery, and vice versa. The key change is that it expands the ability of licensed funeral establishments to operate crematories, which were previously limited to cemeteries.
