Special thank you to The Conference Model Disposition Committee who met two weeks ago in Chicago for two full days to develop sample regulations and guidelines for the various disposition methods in funeral service. The committee worked tirelessly for two days to draft over 30 pages of sample language and best practices for various areas including: cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, natural organic reduction, burial, refrigeration, and much more.

The Model Disposition Committee includes:

• Pam Griese, Chair, Washington
• Karen Carruthers, Alberta
• Kenneth DuPree, Pennsylvania
• Mark Evely, Michigan
• Barbara Kemmis, Illinois
• Jack Mitchell, Maryland
• Jake Smith, North Carolina
• Carlena Weiland, Minnesota

The draft of the Model Disposition Guidelines will be distributed for public comment this fall.
