What should I do if a cemetery is not maintaining a grave site?

 In Elder Law

If a cemetery is not maintaining a grave site for your loved one, you can report them to regulatory authorities.

To do so, go to the Florida Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services website at http://www.myfloridacfo.com/division/FuneralCemetery/ and complete a complaint form. The form asks for information regarding the complaint and any important contracts and letters. The form is only one page long and should be mailed to the Division of Funeral, Cemetery & Consumer Services at Gaines Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0361.

On the Division of Funeral, Cemetery and Consumer Services website, you can also view prior disciplinary orders issued against individuals and businesses.

For more information on this topic, watch the interview below with elder law attorney Babette Bach.
