Taking Cemeteries to Task: Quinn's Report

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Bill Stalter

Governor Quinn's Cemetery Oversight Task Force worked overtime to get their report done early, and Illinois' death care industry now faces new questions about reform legislation.  It would appear that SB1682 will not be the last shot fired in the battle for death care reform for Illinois.

The full report is available on the Governor's website.

Relatives of the buried complained throughout the 1990's about the maintenance of the cemetery. (Nothing was done). In 2005, Alsip has police reports about the maintenance of the cemetery. (Nothing was done). In 2005, the FBI, news reporters, civil right leaders, and relatives of Emmet Till was all around the cemetery when Emmett's body was dug up and returned for investigations of his death. (Nothing was done). Now everyone is trying to figure out who should maintain the cemetery.

Try this. Let the Governor order the IHPA to seek condemnation of the property.
