Eliminates 15% fee charged by cemetery company on transfer of graves, crypts and niches.

This bill (A 602) eliminates a 15% fee cemetery companies currently charge when transferring ownership of graves, crypts, or niches. It directly affects cemetery companies in New Jersey and individuals or families transferring burial spaces. The key provision removes the 15% transfer fee (previously required under Section 13(c)(5) and (6) of the Cemetery Act) from the law, deleting it from the existing fee structure. The bill does not change the 15% fee on initial sales or other existing charges. It is pending before the Assembly Regulated Professions Committee.
