In light of recent comments on this mail list concerning the Georgia crematory, I thought the list members might be interested in this article that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning (February 22nd): http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/02/22/MN180399.DTL Pat Kneisler Benicia, CA

If you read this article, you should discount what the DCA spokesman says. They have been understaffed for at least six years. DCA took over the cemetery regulation in 1996. They started out with two field investigators/inspectors. They still have just two of them and you have to wait forever to get any response to a complaint. AND, they only regulate LICENSED PRIVATE cemeteries. If someone doesn't have a license, they tell you they have no jurisdiction. So, open a cemetery, DON'T get a license and they have no control over you! Can we spell DUMB?
