Summary

Existing law, the Cemetery Act, provides for the licensing and regulation of certain private cemeteries by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. Existing law requires all cemeteries for which a certificate of authority is required to be supervised by a licensed cemetery manager, and prohibits a person from engaging in the business of, acting as, or advertising as, a cemetery manager without a license from the bureau and without being employed by, or a corporate officer of, a licensed cemetery. This bill would, notwithstanding any other provision of law, authorize a court of competent jurisdiction, based upon the court's finding that a cemetery manager of a private cemetery has ceased to perform his or her duties due to a lapse, suspension, surrender, abandonment, or revocation of his or her license, to appoint a temporary manager to manage the property of, and certain services provided by, the private cemetery, as provided, for a limited term of 6 months or until a new licensed cemetery manager is hired. The bill would permit the court to authorize the payment of reasonable compensation for the temporary manager's services, to be paid by the trustees from available income from the cemetery, as provided. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
