Hello, We'll be visiting Modesto and environs within the next 2 1/2 weeks, and are interested in the following graves: Edwin Cuttino Dozier d. 1913, Alice Price Stone Dozier d. 1926 Modesto [parents Walter Stone and Susan Cameron Stone - graves?]. Any land records? Home/ranch sites would be interesting. Anyone connect with these people - from my husband's maternal line? Thanks, w.

Hello, I have been watching the progress of Senate Bill 1952 because a portion of it was a reaction to what had occurred in Georgia at the crematory where the owner stacked and stored bodies rather than perform the service he was paid to perform. As originally written SB 1952 would have allowed the Dept. of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau to review whether there was also a need to regulate cemetery and funeral salespersons of religious corporations or entities - a group that has historically been with ANY regulation in California. In my opinion, after six years of researching cemeteries and cemetery operators in California, oversight of these entities would have been a good thing. Today's notice of an amendment shows me that this Bill has been all but completely gutted. It has been reduced to nothing more than a lip service bill and was probably heavily fought by those in the cemetery industry. Once again, California is going to miss the boat and consumers will pay for it. Perhaps not in dollar losses, but in terms of not having the peace of mind that those who they put their trust in (funeral directors and cemetery operators) will face no regulation and no penalties if they choose to underperform or worse. I am including the text of the amended bill. I will be writing to the authors as well as my state representatives. If you feel it's time to take this industry to task so that those who would defile or desecrate the dead will be held accountable, I would ask that you do the same. Those not interested, please ignore this posting. Sue Silver El Dorado County, CA **************************************************************** BILL NUMBER: SB 1952 AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY JUNE 18, 2002 AMENDED IN SENATE MAY 2, 2002 INTRODUCED BY Senator Figueroa (Coauthors: Senators Johannessen and Polanco) (Coauthors: Assembly Members Aanestad, Correa, and Thomson) FEBRUARY 22, 2002 An act to amend Sections 144, 473.1, 9663, 9731, 9747, 9765, and 9786 of, and to add Sections 7612, 7746, 9610, 9750.5, 9764.1, and 9764.2 to, the Business and Professions Code, relating to professions and vocations. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1952, as amended, Figueroa. Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. Existing law creates a Joint Legislative Sunset Review Committee and authorizes it to review and evaluate various boards and commissions having duties and responsibilities relating to professions and occupations. This bill would provide for the committee review and evaluations of the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law provides for the regulation of funeral establishments, embalmers, cemeteries, and crematories by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires a cemetery authority to display and make available to certain consumers , a copy of the consumer guide for funeral and cemetery purchases. The bill would require a cemetery authority or a cemetery licensee to provide a copy of the consumer guide to a consumer prior to drafting a contract for cemetery goods or services. Existing law requires a person who is delinquent in renewing a cemetery license or a crematory license or a cremated remains disposer registration to pay the fee plus an additional 50% of the renewal fee, but no more than the renewal fee plus $25. This bill would set the delinquency fee at 150% of the timely fee, but not less than the renewal fee plus $25. Existing law regulates preneed contracts for funeral services, and requires a funeral establishment to file an annual report with the bureau. This bill would require a funeral establishment that is exempt from filing an annual report or whose preneed trust funds are reported in a combined preneed trust report, to file a declaration of nonreporting status each year. The bill would require the bureau to conduct certain studies a study on the need to regulate 3rd-party casket retailers and report to the department and the Joint Legislative Sunset Review Committee on or before September 1, 2004. Existing law provides for the examination of applicants for a cemetery license or a crematory license by the bureau. The bill would provide that the fee for a crematory manager examination and reexamination shall be the actual cost to the bureau no more than $500, and that the fee for a cemetery manager examination and reexamination shall be no more than $900 . Because a violation of the provisions regulating funeral establishments is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
