Update N.C. Cemetery Laws

Update N.C. Cemetery Laws To Facilitate The Establishment of "Conservation (and/or Natural) Burial Grounds"

Why is this important?

At present, N.C. cemetery laws do not address the establishment of 'conservation (or natural) burial grounds', which combine much-needed land conservation with a 'green' cemetery. Polls show that many 'baby boomers', such as myself, would choose this method of burial if it were available to them. We would be grateful to the cemetery commission if current regulations were amended to make this possible for citizens of our state.
