News from around the world of Death Care
In today’s afternoon snapshot we have lots of news from around the world. In the United States, among other stories, we found a news investigation on StoneMor and some of their cemetery properties in West Virginia. We found an article and link to a webinar being produced by an Illinois family funeral home, and we found an article on a coroners primary election race in South Carolina where a young funeral director defeated a well entrenched incumbent.
Internationally, we found articles dealing with Singapore and a potential national government probe into how the funeral industry is conducted and we found an article from Canada’s vast Northwest Territory where a funeral home is trying to introduce alkaline hydrolysis to that area.
