DENVER — Governor Jared Polis on Friday signed a package of bills into law that strengthens regulations of Colorado's funeral home industry.
People who perform cremations or natural reductions must gain certification from the Cremation Association of North America, the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association, or a successor organization. The director of the division of professions and occupations will make sure these rules are enforced. Additionally, the director will have the power to discipline license holders, including suspending a license and more.
“There's a special place in hell for people like this who do this kind of stuff,” said Titone. “People don't deserve this kind of thing. They're trusting these people to do this work, and it's just horrible.”
