Anyone who has considered the benefits of home funerals has probably also been concerned about the laws governing after-death processes and procedures.

How to navigate and overcome noncompliant institutional policies. Knowing that all Americans have the right to care for their own in their homes after death is the first step.

Download or read book The Law of Human Remains written by Tanya Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human remains occupy an uneasy position in U.S. law. A human cadaver is no longer a person, but neither is it an object to be easily discarded. What, if anything, must be done with human remains? What cannot be done with human remains? What should be done with human remains? Before we can critique the law of human remains, we must first understand what the law is. In "The Law of Human Remains," Tanya Marsh, a nationally recognized expert in the law of human remains and cemetery law, collects, organizes, and states the legal rules and principles regarding the status, treatment, and disposition of human remains in the United States so that attorneys and courts can more easily discover, understand, use, and ultimately critique and reform the law. Part I establishes an analytical framework for the law of human remains and presents an overview of significant doctrines. Part II provides a state-by-state summary of the common and statutory law examined in Part I. This book is designed
Download or read book Cemetery Law written by Tanya Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns about the cost and environmental consequences of the "traditional" American model of burial-embalming, casket, vault, single perpetual grave-are prompting the first significant challenges to American disposition practices since the Civil War. Burial itself is even being challenged-the popularity of cremation has exploded in recent decades and it will soon become the dominant practice. Americans eager to innovate in deathcare find that the law-still heavily rooted in 17th century English, Protestant practices and beliefs-is ill-equipped to adapt. Cemetery law in the United States has changed little in the past 200 years, but the challenges to our disposition practices are so widespread and significant that it will soon have no choice. It is unimaginable that we will start with a clean slate. Instead, the law will, as it always does in a common law system, slowly evolve from its current form. Before we can change the law, we must first understand it. This book is designed to help jumpstart that process by outlining the history, structure, and doctrines of the common law of burying grounds in the United States.
Download or read book The American Way of Death Revisited written by Jessica Mitford and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only the scathing wit and searching intelligence of Jessica Mitford could turn an exposé of the American funeral industry into a book that is at once deadly serious and side-splittingly funny. When first published in 1963, this landmark of investigative journalism became a runaway bestseller and resulted in legislation to protect grieving families from the unscrupulous sales practices of those in "the dismal trade." Just before her death in 1996, Mitford thoroughly revised and updated her classic study. The American Way of Death Revisited confronts new trends, including the success of the profession's lobbyists in Washington, inflated cremation costs, the telemarketing of pay-in-advance graves, and the effects of monopolies in a death-care industry now dominated by multinational corporations. With its hard-nosed consumer activism and a satiric vision out of Evelyn Waugh's novel The Loved One, The American Way of Death Revisited will not fail to inform, delight, and disturb. "Brilliant--hilarious. . . . A must-read for anyone planning to throw a funeral in their lifetime."--New York Post "Witty and penetrating--it speaks the truth."--The Washington Post

Book excerpt: This compilation of laws, codes, rules and regulations is both a reference book and a text book. To be sure it has the ring of a law book, but it doesn't utilize the typical construction of legal statutes with long threads of consecutive law sections. This book is broken down into specific topics, each exploring their associated state compliance issues by examining the broad spectrum of statutes and compiling them for presentation with the topic discussion.In addition to the myriad number of state regulatory requirements, there are also a number of federal codes and rules specific to the funeral service industry. The most important of which are federal statutes known collectively as the "funeral rule." Compliance issues at the federal level are therefore included in each of the topic discussions.This book strives to always provide the "short" answer to everyday questions about mortuary law, by eliminating legal jargon, deleting long administrative passages, using common, everyday language, and utilizing unique formats and outlines to present the information.The intent of this book is to enhance the professionalism of the funeral service by providing members of the service with a competent and reliable reference book and text book. One that is readily at hand; simple in design; easy to read; and, comprehensible to the average user.
Download or read book Regulation of the Funeral Services Industry written by Tanya Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of human history, indeed for most of American history, the preparation of the dead for disposition was a responsibility primarily discharged by families, friends, and religious organizations. This largely philanthropic activity turned almost completely commercial in the first decades of the 20th century due in large part to increased urbanization and mobility. In the United States today, the disposition of human remains is primarily delegated to the for-profit deathcare industry. This book focuses on the regulation of providers of services related to the preparation of human remains for final disposition and coordination of emorialization and disposition, which is referred to as the "funeral services industry" to distinguish it from the broader deathcare industry. The participants in the funeral services industry are typically referred to as funeral directors, undertakers, morticians, and embalmers who do business in funeral homes. The funeral services industry is highly regulated. The primary means of regulation are state occupational licensing statutes and the Federal Trade Commission's "Funeral Rule." Statutes related to the licensure of crematories and crematory operators, and statutes regulating the sale of pre-need funeral goods and services are closely related to the occupational licensing regime for the funeral services industry and are therefore included in this book.--Publisher.
