The ICCFA is supporting Cemetery Reform Because of the horrific Burr Oak Cemetery Scandal

The International Cemetery Crematory Funeral Association (ICCFA) is open to reform of the Death Care Industry. Death care is what happens from the  funeral home to the cemetery. The Burr Oak  Cemetery Scandal in  the Chicago Area has stirred up calls for cemetery reform.

At Burr Oak  in cemetery near Alsip Illinois 300 graves were desecrated. 2 sections of the Cemetery are a crime scene. Bones were discarded and piled up. The scope and nature of the Burr Oak Crime is an unspeakable horror.

Reform is not the total answer. More laws are needed. Regulation is needed.Enforcement  This is true both on the Funeral side and the cemetery side of the business of death. Laws enforced do not always prevent crime.

Bob Fells, the general counsel for the Virginia-based International Cemetery, Crematory, and Funeral Association said his organization is open to beefing up regulation to prevent atrocities like the one at Burr Oak. “This is so essential to cemetery operation, the integrity of the gravesite,” said Fells, who cautioned that stronger legislation still won’t be able to stop criminal activity. “If somebody wants to walk into a bank and rob it, you probably aren’t going to be able to stop them. It’s a similar thing with illegal disinterment,” said Wells.

EDUCATION NEEDED

If folks are educated about what is involved in the Funeral  and Cemetery Process in death care there will be less crime. They will not be ripped off when there is good laws enforcement and EDUCATION about the Funeral and Cemetery Process.
