Stand by David, I'm going to send you items of PA statute governing cemeteries. There are provisions in PA law to deal with your questions. Stand by Listers. Joyce told us that, as time permits, she would like to add a feature to her site from both NYS and PA regarding existing legislation covering cemeteries. I've furnished material from PA to her. Presumptuously, I will state: Joyce asked for somebody from NYS who either was familiar with existing legislation or who would do the necessary thorough research to assist. I don't know whether or not she got a response to that request. If not, please, won't somebody do the research? I've found that our state legislators and their office staffs are very helpful in assisting with such research! I suspect that NYS is the same. -- Plan Your Work... Work Your Plan...
