§ 8744 Nonendowment Cemetery Disclosure Requirement

• •Cemeteries that don't have a permanent fund for upkeep must clearly say so on all their papers.
• •The words 'nonendowment care' must be easy to see and in a style approved by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau.
• •This rule applies to all contracts, receipts, and other papers from these cemeteries.

You visit a cemetery to buy a burial plot and sign a contract.

At the top of the contract, it must say 'This institution is operated as a nonendowment care interment property' in big, clear letters. This tells you that the cemetery doesn't have a special fund to take care of the graves forever.
