CEMETERY TRUST FUND REPORTING
The Secretary of State is responsible for auditing cemetery permanent maintenance and preneed merchandise and service trust funds.
Beginning January 1, 2011, certain cemeteries are required to submit monthly reports and fees to the office. They are due 30 days from the end of each calendar month. A simplified 2011 annual report is still due at your normal filing time in 2012. 2010 annual reports have not changed and are due at your normal filing time in 2011. The forms are available here.
For more information, including exemption eligibility rules, please visit our FAQ sheet. If you have questions, please contact us. We are committed to working with cemeteries to improve accountability and protect consumers. Thank you and welcome to the new site.
