Eliminates 15% fee charged by cemetery companies on transfer of graves, crypts, and niches.

This bill eliminates the 15% fee charged by cemetery companies on the transfer of graves, crypts, and niches. Currently, these fees are collected and deposited into the Maintenance and Preservation Fund, which is used for cemetery maintenance and preservation. The bill removes this additional fee on transfers, which is seen as unnecessarily burdensome and potentially creating financial hardship for bereaved families. The bill amends the "New Jersey Cemetery Act, 2003" to remove this specific fee.
