| April 16, 2006 | | On April 14, 2006 Mr. Stoecklein, Chairman of CMS Mid-Atlantic Inc. answered questions of New Jersey residents in the St. Giles Chapel at Restland Memorial Park one of New Jersey's most beautiful cemeteries. |
CMS Mid-Atlantic, Inc. Chairman and CEO
Bernard Stoecklein answered the question by saying it is the law. In C.45:27-7
it states that a cemetery company organized in accordance with this act after
December 1, 1971 shall not operate a cemetery unless the company is a nonprofit
corporation organized and operated in compliance with Title 15A of the New
Jersey Statutes and has been issued a certificate of authority to do so by the
board. New Jersey Cemeteries and New Jersey Funeral Homes are regulated by
the New Jersey Cemetery and Funeral Boards.
Mr. Stoecklein when on to say that in
2003 new laws were passed that govern cemeteries and the cemeteries that CMS
Mid-Atlantic, Inc. provides services properly formed new nonprofit corporations
to manage each of those cemeteries. You can go to www.state.nj.us/oag/ca/cemetery/minutes/cem129.htm
to see the minutes of the public meetings approving the issuance of certificates
of authority to those companies. You can learn more about the laws that regulate
New Jersey Cemeteries and Funeral Homes by going to www.njleg.state.nj.us or by going to

CMS Mid-Atlantic, Inc. takes great pride
in its providing services to five of New
Jersey’s leading nonprofit cemeteries and understands that its
decisions to market the products and services of these nonprofit cemeteries are
made as fiduciaries so that these cemeteries last
forever. | | |
