I would be interested to know who on this site does NOT have a lift of some sort at the funeral home they work for. I can see many of the older firms not being able or willing to put in a ceiling mounted lift but most if not all places should have a regular lift.

We are seeing a spike in people wanting to do this 'free' cremation route. I think that if people want it then they should do it. i also believe that our job is to educate them on what really happens to the body. I also wonder what our legal responsibility is and what would happen if we were the provider and issues arose. What legal protection is given to us by these groups.

Ryan Thogmartin on Monday, 16 May 2011 10:42

Great point David. It seems that in most cases the backlash is thrown in the way of the funeral home even if the situation is out of their hands.

I like the idea but I also think that this is a way for the government to become involved in the funeral industry. I think that you will have some owners that might just remove the website. Also most newspapers in California have legacy as a partner and they give "free" web site landing pages for funeral homes that provide a map and contact information what will the state say about those sites. I like the idea but not keen on the law.
