Cemetery & Mortuary Association of
California
The Cemetery & Mortuary Association
of California has served
California's cemeteries since 1931.
Upon its founding, the CMAC
sponsored the California Cemetery
Act under the belief that
sound protection of consumers and
endowment care funds was the best
long-term
interest of the industry. Today, the
CMAC membership is composed of
cemeteries of all
types: for-profit, not-for-profit,
religious and fraternal.
The
Members of the Interment Association
of California voted unanimously at
our Spring Conference in Coronado to
re-vitalize our association with the
new name
Cemetery and Mortuary Association of
California.
Even
with our new CMAC name, our focus
will remain on the effective
representation of cemeteries through
lobbying and member services
including conferences and other
learning events.
The updated appellation is also
intended to reflect the fact that
our membership is comprised of a
number of combination
cemetery/funeral home properties.
This will provide clarity to
consumers, regulators and policy
makers regarding the business
activities in which our members are
engaged.
The new title will also communicate
to our industry that CMAC
acknowledges each of their
perspectives, embraces their
participation, and works
pro-actively to advance their
interests.
CMAC will build on the strong
foundation and traditions
established through the past 77
years, to obtain new successes for
each one of us. |
