An Act to preserve the eternal bonds between people and their animals

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow cemeteries to bury both humans and pets in the same gravesite. It specifically permits the co-interment of human remains and animal remains, including cremated ashes, at public and private burial grounds. The legislation gives cemetery operators the authority to set their own rules and fees for these combined burials. This change directly affects municipalities, cemetery corporations, and families seeking to bury their pets alongside their loved ones.
