These specific cemeteries must be owned and operated exclusively for the benefit of members or be corporations chartered solely for burial purposes. Additionally, these entities must not be operated for profit and cannot allow net earnings to benefit private shareholders or individuals. The bill also addresses distributions from private foundations to these cemetery companies.
