Bill > A582

This bill allows for the operation of crematories at locations not situated on cemetery grounds or funeral home properties. The key provisions are: - The New Jersey Cemetery and Crematory Board is granted jurisdiction and control over crematory companies, in addition to cemetery companies. - Crematories can be established on property owned or leased by a cremation company, or on property owned or leased by a funeral home that operates a crematory. - Crematory companies are required to file annual reports, adopt regulations, and keep records similar to requirements for cemetery companies. - Tax exemptions applicable to cemeteries will also apply to crematory companies. The bill aims to expand the locations where crematories can operate, while maintaining regulatory oversight by the Cemetery and Crematory Board to ensure proper management and operation of these facilities.
