The Oregon Mortuary Cemetery Board is planning on imposing an unnecessary continuing education law. This law will create a burden on funeral homes both independent and corporate, demanding that every individual at both cemeteries and funeral homes attend or home study repetitive programs that teach nothing new. It will create a financial burden on the death care industry that will be passed on directly to the consumer. It will create an even larger burden on small town funeral homes with limited staff as it is extremely difficult for the individuals to take the time necessary to attend or study 10 hours of CE classes per year. Who benefits? the OMCB as someone will need to monitor each individual, the Oregon Funeral Directors Association as it will boost their attendance at conventions and the public speakers presenting there programs. Please join us in telling the Oregon Mortuary Cemetery Board NO! Allow funeral directors and cemeterians to serve families without the imposition of another unnecessary law.

The momentum behind this effort has grown beyond my initial expectations. It is clear that many professionals in our industry recognize the unnecessary nature of these proposed regulations.

Cemetery operations manager. I've been running cemeteries for 16 years and see no point in this bill for continuing education on behalf of the cemeteries or the funeral homes. I don't see the OMCB doing the job they need to now so why add more to their to do list that won't get completed.......
I am dual licensed in Washington and Oregon. I have paid my fees just to keep my license in good standing. I have no intention of moving back to Oregon. This will cause me to drop my license there as I see no need to ad more expense and time commitment. Our real continuing education comes from working in the trenches everyday serving those in need.
I am Secretary of the Jordan Valley Cemetery Dist. We have enough laws on our plate as it is! Thanks
Some one is wanting money. This will do no good for the "service" we should all be providing. The only thing it will do is create animosity toward the Board.
Continuing education is a racket, it is only a money making scheme and bureaucracy. Just more fees and time wasted.
UNFAIR AND VERY UNNECSSARY!!!
Our cemetery is non profit, run by volunteers and has been since 1892. We know how to conduct our business without having to take a class on how to conduct our business.Hey we are volunteers and we are doing a fine job!!!

This will increase the challenge of finding willing volunteers to fill our leadership position at our church cemetery. The proposed law is a poor idea. With the existing system in place any questions that we need answered get answered through the Board. Don't impliment this. -David Bratton - Elder - Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church Cemetery
