Paper Summary:

This paper first the discusses the cremation scandal in Georgia that sparked proposals in many states to tighten the regulation of funeral markets. The paper then looks at different state laws, or lack of state laws, regarding cremation and some of the state laws that have been proposed as a way of safeguarding against more cremation scandals.

From the Paper:

"Although it has been over a year since the 2002 cremation scandal in Georgia when hundreds of decaying corpses were found on the grounds of Tri-State Crematory, many people throughout the country still have concerns about how a crematory would treat their own bodies and those of loved ones. An event this gruesome is not forgotten easily. The situation sparked proposals in many states to tighten the regulation of funeral markets. It comes as no surprise that Georgia was the first state to do so (Wyatt). Whether such laws will calm fears as well as help rectify the situation is still debatable."
