Allows for operation of crematories at locations not situated on cemetery grounds or funeral home properties; provides for issuance of permits for certain crematories.
This bill allows crematories to operate at locations not on cemetery grounds or funeral home properties, removing a current restriction. It directly affects cremation companies seeking new locations for their facilities, including those not affiliated with existing cemeteries or funeral homes. The key mechanism is amending definitions in state law to permit standalone crematories on separate property, while still requiring them to obtain permits from the New Jersey Cemetery and Crematory Board. This change would expand where cremation services can be provided within New Jersey.
