The warning is here

For 4 years now, CemOps has been warning if media and court accounts didn’t slow down, this industry would be called into question.
For 4 years now, CemOps has been offering precompliance assistance with new federal legislation to prepare cemetery companies for what was inevitable.
For 4 years now, cemetery companies have continued to ignore this help, and have continued with the ideal that Senator Dodd failed with his former bill, and no other bill would make it to the floor.
Now it has happened. Precompliance will now become more important than ever. Continuing to ignore this will be risky and ignorant on any cemetery owners part. Read the act as it is written from the above link for yourself. Lately, there continues to be issues hitting the news all over the country giving such a bill the necessary bolstering necessary to make it to the floor for consideration.
Make no mistake about it, this bill has legs and will most likely be passed in some form. It is time to heed the warnings and move toward precompliance. CemOps is here and still capable of helping you get ready for what is coming.
Go to http://www.cemops.com/
Fill out the necessary contact form and let’s get things under control for those companies wishing to get a jump on being ready. We have stated on a number of occassions that this was coming, that the federal government has shown more interest in what we have to offer than the industry has. It is here. It is now. The bill as you read in the above link states that the federal government is going to act, and that states will possibly be preempted in their laws to get this under control.
Companies that choose to continue to ignore this are playing with fire. All the policies and procedures in the world without audit, investigation and enforcement are at risk. We are here to help, and we are capable of making you stronger, better, and more aware of what is truly happening in your locations.
Once again, set up google alerts for cemetery news, cemeteries in trouble, funeral news, funeral homes in financial trouble, etc. etc. You will see the amount of risk that is out there. You will see what the government sees. You will realize this isn’t isolated incidents that mean little. You will see that we have real time problems that need real time solutions.
