Section 5.02. Intent.  


Latest version.
  • The intent of this chapter is to ensure that cemetery authorities that are required to register with the board maintain intact the principal amount in care funds in order to generate sufficient income to maintain cemeteries in perpetuity and to ensure that cemeteries in Wisconsin do not become a financial burden to taxpayers. It is also the intent to prohibit the officers, trustees, and the immediate family of the cemetery authority from directly profiting from the investments that are made by and on behalf of it.
