A 3671 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows interment of cremated pet remains in certain cemeteries.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A3671 (sponsored by Assemblywoman Carol Murphy) allows cemeteries to permit the interment of cremated pet remains alongside human remains under specific conditions. The bill requires that pet remains be interred simultaneously with human remains and that the cemetery company provides written authorization to the lot owner. Cemeteries must list fees for this service, with payments deposited into the cemetery's Maintenance and Preservation Fund. The bill explicitly prohibits interment in columbariums or public mausoleums and does not require cemeteries to allow this practice.
